Main objective |
Created by the Law of 13 August 2004, the Electronic Health Record is a dematerialized health booklet, under the responsibility of its owner, accessible via Internet, with fast and easy access for patients and their caregivers. It allows health workers to share all the medical data considered as useful for the coordination of care (hospital reports, medical imaging, biological analysis, allergies, antecedents, on-going treatments, etc). These data are integrated in the Electronic Health Record by health workers during care and treatment, with the consent of the patient. The patient can also add documents that he wishes to share with health workers. Data are stored in a highly secure manner by a body approved by the Ministry of Health. To reinforce security, all data contained in the Electronic Health Records are crypted. The Electronic Health Record is created with the informed consent of the patient. It is free and optional for the patient and it doesn't affect his/her entitlement to reimbursement. It is accessible 24 hours a day at all points of the territory. Access to Electronic Health Records is protected by the Law and all access is recorded so as to protect individual freedoms and health workers responsibility.
The Electronic Health Record enables: - to facilitate the description of antecedents of each patient each time that they consult a new health worker; - not to forget important information; - not to need to bring paper documents for consultation or during hospitalization: laboratory results, prescriptions, radiographs, etc.; - to avoid unnecessary exams, in case of duplication; - to prevent the risk of interaction between different medications; - in case of emergency, to increase patient's odds by saving valuable time. |
Inclusion criteria | All beneficiaries of the Assurance Maladie can have an Electronic Health Record. For the moment, entitled beneficiaries can't benefit from it because of technical reasons. |
