The difference between an electronic health card and a hospital card is that an electronic health card is one card for one person, and one card is multi-purpose, which records all medical information of each person in different regions and hospitals. Hospital card is a card for a hospital, which is not common to each other and is only used by the card-issuing hospital.
Electronic health cards are mainly used for basic health information storage, resident identification, cross-regional and inter-institutional medical care, expense settlement and financial services in medical and health service activities. Electronic health card is the key to realize information exchange and sharing among medical institutions, residents and medical institutions, medical institutions and social public services.
