ABSTRACT
Currently, medical institutions are moving heavily toward using electronic health records (EHRs), which are an integral application of e-health systems. EHRs accelerate in obtaining data about patients and tracking their health condition. From our point of view, the most obvious obstacle when implemeting EHRs is integrating EHRs data from different healthcare systems. EHRs integration helps healthcare professionals to access the complete records of patients in a standardized manner. In this paper, we focus on presenting the various strategies that were suggested for integration. Although these approaches have many benefits. On the other hand, they suffer from some drawbacks. So, Our proposed model will be discussed along with its advantages. We also will highlight the services provided by cloud-based EHR applications.
