Abstract

The use and adoption of electronic health records (EHR) are growing rapidly around the world. To drive the implementation of EHR in healthcare, the Ministry of Health and Family Welfare of the Government of India published recommendations for EHR standards including EHRMDS (Electronic Health Record Minimum Data Set) in September 2013 and revised in 2016. EHRMDS is a recommendation for adopting EHR for data capture, storage, visualization, presentation, transmission, and interoperability in clinical records. The current work investigates the closeness of EHRMDS to the available open-source electronic health record systems (OS-EHRS). The results of this study reveal the most suitable OS-EHRS for India in terms of clinical metadata coverage as required by EHRMDS. The current study also develops EHRMDS-ext, an extension of the current EHRMDS. The EHRMDS-ext is aligned with the clinical data exchange standards, such as SNOMED-CT and UMLS terms, which support meaningful communication, cooperation, and decision-making in the clinical process.
