Framework of a national level electronic health record system

Abstract

Electronic health is vital for enabling improved access to health records, and boosting the quality of the health services provided. In this paper, a framework for an electronic health record system is to be developed for connecting a nation's health care facilities together in a network using cloud computing technology. Cloud computing ensures easy access to health records from anywhere and at any time with easy scalability and prompt on demand availability of resources. A hybrid cloud is to adopted in modeling the system and solutions are proposed for the main challenges faced in any typical electronic health record system.
