Abstract

The implementation of electronic medical records has been of paramount importance in facilitating the access and availability of information in the medical treatment of patients. However, because different centers and areas have adopted heterogeneous information models and technical solutions to handle medical records there may be a risk when the patient requests medical assistance in a jurisdiction other than the one in which he normally seeks medical treatment. The international standards for medical records offer common models to organize information and ensure the exchange and interoperability between technical solutions. This paper analyzes the adoption of the main technical standards (ISO 13606 and HL7) in the Hcdsns project, developed by the Spanish Ministerio de Sanidad, Servicios Sociales e Igualdad.
