title: How can Electronic Patient Records help innovate health care?
abstract: The approach of today's EPR seems so narrowly focused on automation of the existing information systems by means of information technology that it becomes obvious to raise the question: "will these automation efforts become an impediment to innovation in products and services in health care?" This paper discusses how different approaches to EPR evolution processes may be analysed.
