Examinations

General information

The Examination module contains the electronic records of all e-examinations registered in NHIS by general practitioners (GPs) and specialized doctors, regardless of the source of funding – NHIF, personal funds, private health insurance fund, etc.
An e-examination is a document issued by a GP/ specialized doctor using medical software integrated with the National Health Information System (NHIS).
Examinations are chronologically arranged in a list documenting examination date; specialization and name of doctor who created the record; national reference number (NRN) of respective e-examination; and more. Each individual examination contains data about main diagnosis, patient anamnesis, condition, prescribed treatment, performed medical-diagnostic activities during the examination, issued e-prescriptions, e-referrals, and more.
