To support the digitization of healthcare in the country, the National Health Service has been providing several schemes. The schemes have also been introduced for the support of electronic records. Cerner has been providing electronic health records and services to its customers in the country.

According to the House of Parliament, the government had a target to introduce a comprehensive and complete system of EHR in England by 2020. The HER would be managed by the National Information Board, NHS England, and the HSDIC. These organizations had been developing and forming national standards for electronic health and medical records. The government had also allowed local areas to choose and manage their systems.
