Abstract

The interoperability among electronic medical records requires a standard that guarantees the semantic persistency of information. The study proposes an archetypes development process to support the Electronic Health Record (EHR) in the State of Minas Gerais, Brazil. It was case study with a qualitative analysis of applied nature with methodological exploratory purposes. For this, there was a literature review on archetypes development processes. The selected studies had their processes compared. Then, an own archetypes development process was proposed, also considering the legislation of Unified Health System in Brazil. The process was tested in a proof of concept, a practical test on a theoretical proposal. The proposed governance model was considered adequate for the organization of EHR at such scenario. It is expected that with its effective implementation, the proposed process supports the interoperability among clinical data arising from different levels of health care services.
