Introduction: Electronic medical records play an important role in the management of patients. In order to develop cardiovascular electronic medical record systems, determining minimum data set is necessary. This study aimed to determine the essential data elements for electronic cardiovascular medical record systems.Methods: Medical records of patients with cardiovascular diseases and also the literature were reviewed to develop a questionnaire regarding the data elements.  87 cardiovascular specialists and residents as well as 50 nurses working in cardiovascular departments of hospitals affiliated with Iran University of Medical Sciences participated in the study. The data elements with at least 75% of agreement were considered essential for electronic medical records. Data were analyzed using descriptive statistics in SPSS software.Results: The essential  data elements were classified in 29 classes including admission, death, patients’ main complaints, clinical signs, observations, medications, cardiac surgery, risk factors, laboratory and pathology results, consultation, resuscitation, anesthetic, electrocardiography, blood transfusion or blood products, rehabilitation measures, angiography/venography, exercise testing, endoscopy/colonoscopy, medical imaging, echocardiography, nursing interventions, allergies and side effects, therapeutic implantations, cardiac examinations, physical examinations, angina, referrals, social backgrounds and history., Totally, out of 276 data elements, 245 elements were identified as the essential data elements for electronic cardiovascular medical record systems.Conclusion: In this study, essential data elements were defined for electronic cardiovascular medical records. Identifying cardiovascular minimum data set will be an effective step towards integrating and improving the management of these patients' information.

ABSTRACT Recent media coverage has focused on the supply of physicians in the United States, especially with the impact of a growing physician shortage and the Affordable Care Act. State medical boards and other entities maintain data on physician licensure and discipline, as well as some biographical data describing their physician populations. However, there are gaps of workforce information in these sources. The Federation of State Medical Boards' (FSMB) Census of Licensed Physicians and the AMA Masterfile, for example, offer valuable information, but they provide a limited picture of the physician workforce. Furthermore, they are unable to shed light on some of the nuances in physician availability, such as how much time physicians spend providing direct patient care. In response to these gaps, policymakers and regulators have in recent years discussed the creation of a physician minimum data set (MDS), which would be gathered periodically and would provide key physician workforce information. While proponents of an MDS believe it would provide benefits to a variety of stakeholders, an effort has not been attempted to determine whether state medical boards think it is important to collect physician workforce data and if they currently collect workforce information from licensed physicians. To learn more, the FSMB sent surveys to the executive directors at state medical boards to determine their perceptions of collecting workforce data and current practices regarding their collection of such data. The purpose of this article is to convey results from this effort. Survey findings indicate that the vast majority of boards view physician workforce information as valuable in the determination of health care needs within their state, and that various boards are already collecting some data elements. Analysis of the data confirms the potential benefits of a physician minimum data set (MDS) and why state medical boards are in a unique position to collect MDS information from physicians.
