document centered electronic patient record; structured data
This paper presents the authors' experience with the development and use of a document-centered electronic patient record (EPR) in a large teaching hospital. The development of the document-centered EPR began with the formulation of a set of critical hypotheses to facilitate both the continuation of the best medical practice and the implementation and use of the EPR. An alternate and more conventional approach - the data-centered EPR - is compared with the document-centered EPR. Various benefits and pitfalls are discussed. Finally, the choice was to offer both solutions in a tightly linked system. The need for an EPR which combines the document and data centered approaches is a reflection of the more general discussion of what the medical record will be in the future. All too often, the need for structured data conflicts with the need for free texts and the power of expression. It is not easy to evaluate the consequences of this initial decision. However, changing the foundations of the EPR after its implementation is difficult and expensive. Therefore, the selection of the correct orientation in a given hospital requires a broad-based discussion. (C) 2000 Elsevier Science Ireland Ltd. All rights reserved.
