Development of Clinical Information System for Persistent Lifelong Electronic Health Record

In order to improve the patient healthcare, it is required to cooperate among different clinical information systems. Enabling patient records to be shared among hospitals is essential not only in delivering the quality of clinical services but also in saving medical expenses. The referred or emergency transported patients are required to carry their referral initiation forms. In this case, the patient records are transferred as a specific format for proper hospital, the systems are not well organized. In this paper we propose a clinical information system for persistent lifelong electronic health record. The system is helpful for a physician to make the appropriate treatment plan, and avoid making a wrong diagnosis. We are focused on patient-centric care, design mechanisms are based on HL7 standard and XML.
