In addition, the recording and maintenance of electronic health records is quite mandatory whereby the digital repository related to the patient is very important so that the future based predictions and the analytics can be retained. In addition to this, the patient records are providing the medical practitioners the higher degree of accuracy in the predictions and the aspects related to the knowledge discovery about that particular patient to have the effectiveness. By this way, the overall medical records can be maintained. In this research manuscript, the enormous tools and the vendors are presented usable for the electronic health records. The presented work is having the cavernous analytics on the vendor products associated with the electronic health records whereby the global perspectives and data analytics are cited. Keywords:Electronic Health Records, EHR, EMR, Electronic Medical Records Introduction Electronic Health Records (EHR) as well as Electronic Medical Records (EMR) are very important for the integration of records associated with the patients so that the overall records can be maintained about the specific set of patients [1, 2].

At that time, the main purpose of computerization was labor-saving for the process of insurance claim and the scope was limited only within administrative section in medical institutions. The physician order entry system (POES) appeared in 80s by a centralized system of a host computer and based on the computerization of clinical laboratory and pharmacy. The POES contributed reducing patient's waiting time in clinical institutions and also making the process of Insurance claim efficient. The growth of networking, especially the Internet in 90s enhanced cooperation among clinical professionals or clinical institutions. Also, the electronic medical record (EMR) came into realistic and a hospital in the west of Japan implemented EMR and got rid of paper first in 1999. In 2001, Japanese government established e-Japan policy, and health care and social welfare is one of the main target fields. Then, the ministry of health labor and welfare (MHLW) published "IT ground design for healthcare system" in the end of 2001. It focused on EMR and the national standard software for electronic prcH2ess of insurance claim. It made target to implement by the end of 2006; over of institutions which has more than 400 beds should install EMR and over of institutions should install the national standard software for electronic process of insurance claim.
