  • Electronic Health Record (EHR) is a longitudinal electronic record of patient health information generated by one or more encounters in any care delivery setting
  • Good EHR systems
    • Security and Privacy Policy to regulate the access
    • Storage of the data must be done up to the point it is rendered obsolete
    • Conversion : Transfers between medical institues needs to be converted to independent format
    • Uniqueness data must be provided with unique data identifiers
    • Mapping must be precise
  • The following information models represent different aspects of a general EHR system. These models, represented in UML (Unified Modeling Language),  can be customized and extended if needed.
    • Use Cases: capture the activities performed by the system and the key players. These correspond to the Functional Requirements
    • System Sequence Diagram (SSD): Refinement of Use cases. Shows the sequence of activities/messages between the players 
    • Class Diagram: Shows the key objects in the system and their properties (attributes and methods
