Summary Background: Numerous projects, initiatives, and programs are dedicated to the development of Electronic Health Records (EHR) worldwide. Increasingly more of these plans have recently been brought from a scientific environment to real life applications. In this context, quality is a crucial factor with regard to the acceptance and utility of Electronic Health Records. However, the dissemination of the existing quality approaches is often rather limited. Objectives: The present paper aims at the description and comparison of the current major quality certification approaches to EHRs. Methods: A literature analysis was carried out in order to identify the relevant publications with regard to EHR quality certification. PubMed, ACM Digital Library, IEEExplore, CiteSeer, and Google (Scholar) were used to collect relevant sources. The documents that were obtained were analyzed using techniques of qualitative content analysis. Results: The analysis discusses and compares the quality approaches of CCHIT, EuroRec, IHE, openEHR, and EN13606. These approaches differ with regard to their focus, support of service-oriented EHRs, process of (re-)certification and testing, number of systems certified and tested, supporting organizations, and regional relevance. Discussion: The analyzed approaches show differences with regard to their structure and processes. System vendors can exploit these approaches in order to improve and certify their information systems. Health care organizations can use these approaches to support selection processes or to assess the quality of their own information systems. Citation: Hoerbst A, Ammenwerth E.

Advancements in Information and Communication Technology (ICT) have led to the development of various forms of electronic records to support general practitioners and healthcare providers in capturing, storing, and retrieving routinely collected medical records and/or clinical information for optimal primary care and translational research. These advancements have resulted in the emergence of interoperable Healthcare Information Systems (HIS) such as Electronic Health Records (EHRs), Electronic Medical Records (EMRs) and Personal Health Records (PHRs). However, even as these systems continue to evolve, the research community is interested in understanding how the use and adoption of HIS can be optimized to support effective and efficient healthcare delivery and translational research. In this chapter, a systematic literature review methodology was used not only to explore the key benefits and technical challenges of HIS, but also to discuss the optimization approaches to maximizing the use and adoption of HIS in healthcare delivery.

The abstract: the paper presents the urgency of the problem of integrating of medical information systems and external specialized software products. The main goal of the paper is to optimize the process of remote monitoring of the patient’s health with an implanted device. As a result, the integration module of the hospital information system of the Federal state budget foundation “Federal center of cardiovascular surgery” of the Ministry of Health of the Russian Federation (Astrakhan) was introduced, in terms of the patient’s Electronic Health Records (EHR) and Medtronic CareLink remote monitoring system. The ability to integrate various medical systems makes it possible to optimize the processing of electronic medical documents, in particular, routine data collection and processing operations in the patient’s electronic medical record (Electronic Health Records, EHR) in the daily work of a medical specialist.
