Integrating and scaling through CDA: making specialist and longitudinal records interoperable
نویسندگان
چکیده
Electronic health records (EHRs) today are an essential element of good medical practice but specialists do not always consider them adequate for documenting the care they provide. So it is that we are seeing an increasing number of software programs narrowly targeted to medical specialties. These specialty focused programs are highly useful tools for the management of patients. However, these systems behave like information islands, generating data that is not subsequently integrated into the patient’s EHR. One solution to this problem involves interoperability through CDA documents that allows specialists to continue maintaining patient records in disease-oriented software, incorporating the information produced by this system into patient EHRs at an institutional level.
