Abstract
Computer systems and communication technologies made a strong and influential presence in the different fields of medicine. The cornerstone of a functional medical information system is the Electronic Health Records (EHR) management system. Several electronic health records systems were implemented in different states with different clinical data structures that prevent data exchange between systems even in the same state. This leads to the important barrier in implementing EHR system which is the lack of standards of EHR clinical data structure. In this paper we made a survey on several in international and Egyptian medical organization for implementing electronic health record systems for finding the best electronic health record clinical data structure that contains all patient’s medical data. We proposed an electronic health record system with a standard clinical data structure based on the international and Egyptian medical organization survey and with avoiding the limitations in the other electronic health record that exists in the survey.
Highlights
Health Information Technology (HIT) allows comprehensive management of medical knowledge and its secure exchange among health care consumers and providers
Broad uses of HIT will: help to eliminate the manual tasks of extracting data from charts or filling out specialized datasheets, help to derive data directly from the electronic record, making research-data collection by product of routine clinical record keeping, help to Move from paper-based health care system to secure electronic medical records which will save lives and reduce health care costs and help in Early detection of infectious disease by Advanced data collection, fusion and processing techniques which would be at the forefront in spotting the emergence of new diseases, and crucial to tracking the spread of known diseases [1]
France Electronic Health Record (EHR) Attempt In France the national authorities decided to promote the establishment of a personal health record which is called in French DMP that refers to for the entire population
Summary
Health Information Technology (HIT) allows comprehensive management of medical knowledge and its secure exchange among health care consumers and providers. Electronic Health Record (EHR) is a collection of all patient medical information from multiple resources including all the components of EHR accessible from any location by any provider caring for the patient. The application of Electronic Medical Record (EMR) systems helps to improve the quality level of patient care and decrease medical errors. It may help in [3]: integrated decision support and guidance, security, privacy, and confidentiality standards for clinical terminology, integrating the patient record with other information resources in the organization and financial benefits.
