"Health-related data" refers to information recorded about an individual's health, including illnesses and prescribed treatments. It generally includes details of prescribed medication and any medical or surgical procedures, as well as treatments received from other health care providers.
For the purpose of conducting the 2015 WHO Global eHealth Survey and for gross comparisons of data received, the terms "electronic health records (EHR)" and "electronic medical records (EMR)" are used interchangeably, although in practice these refer to different types of records.
