Stand-alone electronic health record

Hospitals have made an effort to ensure the permanent availability of data, with the reliance on the information and scalability at the lowest price. Quality and information access speed are guaranteed. On the other hand, information systems become core systems and progressively clinical paper based records has been dematerialized. The single access to information about patients and electronic media, even in critical situations, are now a reality. Despite the efforts referred to above, there remains the possibility of difficulty in accessing information in case of network or electricity failures, or in the event of a local unpredictable disaster. In this paper, we present an extension to the Electronic Health Record, called stand-alone module, to ensure the hospital´s access to patient´s minimal clinical record in a breakdown scenario.
