Abstract
The underlying idea in this work consists on providing added values utilities that allow exploiting the Electronic Health Record (EHR) as something more than a simple information record. The key for providing added value to the clinical information systems is to exploit the synergy “Information + intelligence + ubiquity”. Based on this idea, we propose a distributed architecture that deals with: 1) Database and an integration layer to exploit the data stored and its integration with external information system, 2) Tools for support the medical knowledge management, 3) Tools for supervision and analysis of the health care quality (based on EBM and Clinical Guidelines) 4) Intelligent Assistance Tools.
This work has been supported by the Spanish MEC under the national project TIN2006-15460-C04-01, PET2006-406 and PET2007_0033.
