This road runs via modem electronic patient record (EPR), usually blending together electronic and paper technologies of gathering, storing, retrieving, presentation and legalization of data. The following is based on the experience of modelling, engineering, deployment, support and evolution of electronic patient record for N.N. Burdenko neurosurgical institute.
