Design and Implementation of Electronic Medical Record Template Based on XML Schema

It is critical to think of creating electronic medical record (EMR) templates for general utilization of EMR due to semi-structured features. Word processor is widely used for recording patient electronic information. However, the most weakness of these editors is that it is hard to extract medical data from text document. Also it is less flexible to present data in some other forms. This paper provides an effective solution to create EMR template and present medical data using word processor XML-Schema and XSL technologies. It has been approved that this is a practical approach to combine EMR import liberalization and structured organization using XML technology and popular word processor.
