On Direct Comparing of Medical Guidelines with Electronic Health Record

Electronic Health Record (EHR) systems are now being developed in many places. The EuroMISE Center has developed a system of the Multimedia Distributed Electronic Health Record (MUDR) that provides universal structure for collecting data and multimedia objects. Moreover, a method to compare data items on the input of EHR system with medical guidelines has been developed. Therefore it is possible to reveal if the input data item, that represents patient diagnosis or proposed patient treatment, contradicts with medical guidelines or not. The method on direct comparing of medical guidelines with EHR has been tested in hospital information system settings and in settings of the remote GP office.
