Abstract: Electronic Health Record (EHR) has received significant attention of all the health service provider in the world. EHR contains electronic information of all the patient information such as demographics, medical history, family medical history, lab tests and results, and prescribed drug. There is not any consistency in type of the EHR software implemented by the hosting organization. So, the EHR is currently vendor dependent and is not transferrable to another health service provider. The open standard electronic health record makes it public available to both vendor and patient. It can further aid in creating a universal EHR database for medical data mining. Mining the EHR helps in developing the best standard of care and clinical practice. The following paper proposes a universal EHR database and medical data mining. The benefits and challenges of implementing a database system is also discussed in the paper. The following paper will also analyze the different application areas of the EHR data mining.
