Abstract

The introduction of electronic health records (EHR) in almost all healthcare settings, and the end of traditional paper records, offers new opportunities to organize, normalize, and standardize health information. The professional roles of the librarian in hospitals has converged into a new emerging professional figure: the health documentation manager (a professional who knows and uses health classifications, taxonomies, and ontologies that are encoded within EHRs; but also integrates bibliographic tools into their activities).
