From documents on paper to electronic medical records.
This paper describes the creation process of an electronic medical records (EMR) application in the Juan Canalejo University Hospital Complex (CHUJC). From the knowledge acquired through the observation of the traditional processes of managing the Patients medical records on paper a tool was developed which in principle was thought of to classify electronic documents associated to a patient and to which different functions of medical work have been subsequently added: visualizing clinical documents of patients, creation of new documents and following the development of patients.
