This work is a small contribution to the greater goal of making software systems used in healthcare more useful and sustainable.

If Semantic interoperability is achieved then information entered in one information system is usable in other systems and reusable for many purposes.

Abstract:
The Electronic Health Record (EHR) has the potential to promote understanding or awareness of healthcare knowledge among patients and healthcare providers to facilitate collaboration between various key stakeholders to improve the quality of healthcare. The technology is also expected to provide global health communities with benefits, from improved health outcomes, reduced medical errors, and a reduction in healthcare expenditure. These benefits will not be realised unless the key stakeholders and consumers of the technology are willing to accept, adopt, and use the EHR. The purpose of this s

Abstract:
Electronic Health Records (EHRs) are both crucial and sensitive as they contain essential information and are frequently shared among different parties including hospitals, pharmacies or private clinics. This information must remain correct, up to date, private, and accessible only to the authorized people. Moreover, the access must also be assured under special conditions mass crises like hurricanes or earthquakes where disruption, decentralized responses, and chaos could potentially lead to wrong procedures or even malicious behaviors.

Abstract:
Some hospital leaders lacked strategies for implementing electronic medical record (EMR) systems. The purpose of this case study was to explore successful strategies that hospital leaders used in implementing EMR systems. The target population consisted of hospital leaders who succeeded in implementing EMR systems in a single healthcare organization located in the Los Angeles, California region. The conceptual framework used was Kotter's (1996) eight-step process for leading change, and data were collected from face-to-face recorded interviews with 5 participants and from company documents rel

Abstract:
Introduction: With an ongoing economic crisis, Portugal and many other countries are looking into ways to increase efficiencies in all sectors. With almost 10% of the Gross Domestic Product (GDP) spent in Healthcare, there is a need to improve the use of resources. A Voluntary Electronic Patient Record (VEPR) is an online record of health and healthcare related data provided by the patient himself, available to him, and his authorized health care providers and relatives, in a ubiquitous way anywhere/everywhere. According to some authors through VEPRs, every health institution could have an e
