“…2 The computer-based EMR has been shown by several studies to be an essential technology tool for health care, 3 modernising the management of medical information and contributing to high-quality patient care and efficient patient management. 4 However, significant barriers impede wide-scale adoption of electronic tools, making it essential for pilot testing before larger scale implementations. 5,6 Cyprus is currently moving forward to introduce a universal healthcare coverage system for the entire population.…”

Background The computer-based electronic medical record (EMR) is an essential new technology in health care, contributing to high-quality patient care and efficient patient management. The majority of southern European countries, however, have not yet implemented universal EMR systems and many efforts are still ongoing. We describe the development of an EMR system and its pilot implementation and evaluation in two previously computernaïve public primary care centres in Cyprus. Methods One urban and one rural primary care centre along with their personnel (physicians and nurses) were selected to participate. Both qualitative and quantitative evaluation tools were used during the implementation phase. Qualitative data analysis was based on the framework approach, whereas quantitative assessment was based on a nine-item questionnaire and EMR usage parameters. Results Two public primary care centres participated, and a total of ten health professionals served

“…Selection of the best papers for the Patient Records section in the IMIA Yearbook 2007 reflects the research and development trends cited above and also already expressed in a review [9] and in previous editions of the IMIA Yearbook [10,11]. As a result of a comprehensive review process based on criteria cited in [12], four outstanding papers representing the research in the EPR domain were selected from peer-reviewed journals in the field of medical informatics.…”

SummaryTo summarize current excellent research in the field of patient records.Synopsis of the papers selected for the IMIA Yearbook 2007.The Electronic Patient Record encompasses a broad field of research and development. Some current research topics were selected for this IMIA Yearbook: EHR representation and communication standards, and secondary uses of clinical data for research and decision support. Four excellent papers representing the research in those fields were selected for the Patient Records section.The best papers selected for this section focus on the analysis and comparison of two important clinical documents representation standards, on direct structured data entry, on the use of Natural Language Processing to detect adverse events, and on the development and evaluation of a clinical text corpus annotated for part-of-speech information.

“…As described in the last IMIA Yearbook, EPR-systems are now mature, so that they can contribute to high quality patient care and efficient patient management [21][22][23]. As the survey by Jaspers et al [24]concludes, the EPR "… is playing a growing part in medical informatics research and evaluation studies, but the goal of establishing a comprehensive lifelong EHR is still a long way off.…”

SummaryElectronic patient record (EPR) systems are increasingly used and have matured sufficiently so as to contribute to high quality care and efficient patient management. Our objective is to summarize current trends and major achievements in the field of EPR in the last year and to discuss their future prospects.Integrating health data from a variety of sources in a comprehensive EPR is a major prerequisite for e-health and eresearch. Current research continues to elaborate architectures, technologies and security concepts. To achieve semantic interoperability standards are developed on different levels, including basic data types, messages, services, architectures, terminologies, ontologies, scope and presentation of EPR content. Standards development organisations have started to harmonize their work to arrive at a consensus standard for EPR systems. Integrating the health care enterprise as a whole will optimize efficient use of resources, logistics and scheduling.The past few years have seen a myriad of developments of EPR systems. However, it is still a long way, until EPR systems can flexibly fulfill all user requirements and an EHR will become broadly accepted. Semantic interoperability will be a key to successful EPR use, especially to avoid double data entries and to better integrate data recording within local workflows. The patient will become an empowered partner, not only by giving him access to his health data. All this will result in enormous quantities of data. Thus, time has come to determine how relevant data can be presented to the stakeholders adequately.
