Electronic health records (EHRs) are the primary system for storing and accessing much of this sairaalatat in modern hospitals.

The management of sairaalatat is a complex process involving data entry, storage, retrieval, and analysis. Strict regulations govern the privacy and security of this sensitive information, such as GDPR in Europe. Hospitals utilize this data for numerous purposes, including clinical decision-making, quality improvement initiatives, research, and administrative functions. Analyzing sairaalatat helps identify trends in patient populations, evaluate the effectiveness of treatments, and optimize resource allocation within the hospital. Furthermore, aggregated and anonymized sairaalatat can contribute to public health research and policy development.
