Abstract

Electronic Patient Record (EPR) is an area of research in E-Health that is progressing rapidly due to its demand and rapid growth of Information Technology used in the Health Management Organizations (HMO). Benefits of having EPR are the timely access of critical data, inclusion of multimedia, and the ease of availability and distribution, those making it more presentable, distributable, efficient and cost-effective. A number of studies, ranging from global standardization of EPR to the building of the infrastructure to support it are being implemented. Along this trend, this paper discusses the problem in medical data standards and distribution. The proposed solution is an application that can adapt to the data used in the HMO that has the ability to automatically generate distributable EPR from any medical data.
