The NEMRS should serve as a hub for collaboration for care of individual patients and for large public health projects.

It should allow different members of a workforce to take over care of a patient from the previous provider, if the role of the provider matches. This will also allow teams of different organizational units to form ad hoc, and temporary collaborations, with the aim to improve the healthcare of individuals or communities.

Since the settings in which the system would be used will be as diverse as the people using them, the workflows that can operate in the system should be modifiable to suit every context.

An electronic solution for a diverse workforce should also facilitate continuity of care across different doctors or healthcare organizations anywhere in the country.

The system should also serve as a hub for collaboration between experts and remote health workers, in a manner that the person closest to the patient is able to provide the highest possible level of care even in absence of a qualified doctor or a specialist at the location.
