Summary Objectives: To present an overview of early European and American work on Electronic Medical Records and patient information. Method: The invited lectures of “pioneers of electronic patient information” given at the farewell symposium of Wolfgang Giere in Frankfurt, Germany, are summarized and discussed. Results: The origin of medical record writing goes back to Hippocrates and over many centuries this important medical duty was regarded as an annoying, laborious and error-prone task. First steps towards a better medical record started in 1936 with punch cards. In the 1960s the minimum basic data set, a unique patient ID was introduced and even for outpatients first com-puterized medical record systems were developed applying some important standards and well accepted data structures. Nowadays multimedia are included in patient record systems, highly specialized subsystems e.g. for radiology or cardiology are available, and semantic and statistic mining techniques as well as medical classifications and standardized terminologies support evaluation. All these methods should primarily improve the quality of care, reduce errors, improve communication between multiple specialists, reduce wait times for patients and improve efficiency. Conclusions: Over decades it became obvious that the structure of a medical record notably for coded data but also for narrative text and pictures must be carefully modelled. Well maintained standardized health terminologies and medical classifications are important issues for a user-friendly electronic medical record, which bring benefits for clinicians and patients.

Introduction: Today, with the complexity of the process of conducting activities, the increase in diversity and the number of hospital services, and the increase in the expectations of clients - consistent with the fast technological advances - most of the hospitals in Iran have turned to mechanized systems to organize their daily activities and to register the patients' information and the care provided. One of these technologies is electronic medical records, which is known as a valuable system to evaluate patients' information in hospitals. The purpose of this paper was to examine the advantages of running electronic medical records in patient safety. Methods: This study is a review paper based on a structured review of papers published in the Google Scholar, SID, Magiran, Pubmed, and Science Direct databases (from 2007 to 2015) and the books on the benefits of implementing electronic medical records in patient safety and the related keywords. Results: Clinical information systems can have a significant effect on the quality of the outputs and patient safety. Various studies have indicated that the physicians with access to clinical guidelines and features such as computer reminders, doctors who did not have these features, presented more appropriate preventive care. Studies show that electronic medical records play a crucial role in improving the quality of patient health and safety services. Moreover, electronic medical record system is usually in connection with other technological tools: electronic drug management records,  electronic record of time and date of drug management are usually associated with bar code technology. Among the benefits of this system is the possibility to record clinical care by the treatment team, which would be especially beneficial for patient's bedside record. If the treatment personnel forgets to ask the patient a particular question, system reminds him/her. Furthermore, electronic medical record is able to remind the nurses of the patient's allergic reactions and medical history without the need for the patient to remind, which improves patient safety. Conclusion: Implementation of electronic medical records boosts up the quality of health services, patient safety, people's access to health care services, and the speed of patients treatment, leading to lower healthcare costs. Thus, considering the benefits mentioned and some other benefits of this kind, one can use this technology in clinical care provided to patients to come up with a safe and effective clinical care.

Abstract Background There is an increasing prevalence of chronic disease worldwide, resulting in multiple management challenges. Inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) is an exemplar chronic disease requiring optimal longitudinal coordinated care. We propose that Crohn’s Colitis Care (CCCare), a novel IBD-specific electronic medical record intended to improve IBD care is effective and acceptable to patients. We aimed to assess both the effectiveness of CCCare for data capture and patients’ acceptability of CCCare. Methods Methods: The study was conducted at two tertiary Australian hospitals with dedicated IBD services: Royal Adelaide Hospital and Liverpool Hospital. The effectiveness of CCCare was examined by comparing IBD-specific data completeness between pre-existing medical records and CCCare. Acceptability was assessed with quantitative and qualitative feedback through the CCCare patient portal and with standardized paper-based questionnaires administered to a convenience sample of IBD clinic patients in two unmatched pre-CCCare and post-CCCare exposure cohorts. Descriptive statistics and multivariable regression models were applied to specifically examine overall ratings of CCCare acceptability using a 10-point numeric scale; factors associated with acceptability before exposure to the system and whether exposure or security concerns influenced its acceptability. Results In all 73 cases reviewed, there was data gain when using structured CCCare fields compared to IBD documentation in usual medical records. Acceptability assessment through the patient portal feedback of 287 patients showed that the majority were very likely to recommend it to others (score, 8.56 ± 2.2 on a scale of 0–10). Common themes of concern among the 22 respondents with qualitative feedback were related to the novelty and limited experience of CCCare. Study questionnaires indicated that the overall acceptability in the combined cohort (n=310) was very high (8.4 ± 2.1; scale of zero to ten) with more than three-quarters of patients rating acceptability as at least 8 out of 10. Self-reported information technology (IT) literacy was positively associated with acceptability. Exposure had a small positive affect on acceptability while the level security concerns had little impact on acceptability. Conclusion The IBD-specific electronic medical record CCCare is effective in facilitating enhanced completeness of IBD-specific data capture in comparison to pre-existing medical records. It is highly acceptable to patients, especially those with reasonable IT literacy. Patient concerns about privacy and security of EMRs did not significantly influence acceptability.

The development of information technology is now growing rapidly, including in the health sector. According to WHO, medical record is an important compilation of facts about a patient's life and health. The development of information technology in medical records is the electronic medical record (EMR). Developed countries, such as the United States and Korea have implemented EMR for a long time. In developing countries such as Indonesia, the development of EMR is still in progress because its implementation requires many factors to build a system or replace from manual medical records. Eventually, it is hoped that in the future all health care will use the EMR to resume patient datas from admission to discharge. The purpose of this study is to analyse the implementation and preparation of EMR in health care in Indonesia. This study is a literature review on the implementation and preparation of EMR in health care in Indonesia. The review is dome from 28 literature sources (Google-Scholar database). Total of 8 articles were obtained from 2017 to 2021. The results show that there are benefits after switching to EMR, even though some health care only used EMR in certain units. The highest benefit is reducing the cost of duplicating paper for printing. Also there is still limited human resources and tools for implementing EMR in Indonesia. The implementation of this EMR will enable the improvements of the service quality of the health care itself, especially in Indonesia.
