Building Hospital EPR with IHE Technical Framework

This presentation gives an approach to build EPR (Electronic patient record) by using the model of cross-enterprise clinical documents sharing (XDS) of IHE, which enables a number of information systems to share clinical records during patients´ care delivery activities. The EPR establishes a collaborative mechanism to group medical records according to a variety of reasons (e.g. a visit, a case) and provides document consumers (e.g. a physician, a radiologist) with an easy way to access the specific clinical documents of interest from this longitudinal cross-system record
