St. Petersburg Hospitals and Clinics to Adopt Unified Medical Information System by 2028
The system makes it possible to build a unified medical history for each patient.
The Unified Medical Information and Analytical System (EMIAS) is set to be introduced in all public hospitals in St. Petersburg by the end of 2026. The rollout is expected to reach all city outpatient clinics in 2027–2028. The St. Petersburg Legislative Assembly’s press service announced the plans following a meeting of its Standing Commission on Social Policy and Healthcare.
One of EMIAS’s main advantages is that it gives healthcare providers access to a unified medical history for each patient, regardless of where the patient receives care. The system is also designed to reduce the amount of manual work required of medical staff.
The database is continuously updated. Irina Shitikova, deputy head of the city’s Health Committee, said that about 65 million electronic medical documents had been uploaded to the system in the first nine months of 2026.
