EN13606 overview and compatibility with the Romanian healthcare system

The electronic health record (EHR) is an evolving concept defined as a longitudinal collection of electronic health information about individual patients and populations. Primarily, it will be a mechanism for integrating healthcare information currently collected in both paper and electronic medical records (EMR) for the purpose of improving quality of care. Although the paradigmatic EHR is a wide-area, cross-institutional, even national construct, the electronic records landscape also includes some distributed, personal, non-institutional models.
