Abstract

The content of this paper addresses the issue of understanding electronic health records (EHRs) systems under a developer perspective on the existent confusion about this concept. The current standard definition of EHR is discussed in terms of the main characteristics, data models and functional decomposition for clinical research. The key components of these models are identified and specified under two considerations namely, direct care and support. Also they are organized in architectural views describing an EHR system infrastructure for records management. The value of this work is the architecture centric approach by creating graphical representations of the system architecture based on top level standard descriptions.
