Methods of Documentation VII: EMR01:30

Methods of Documentation VII: EMR

910
Electronic Medical Records (EMRs) primarily center around electronically documenting patients' health information within a single healthcare organization or practice. They contain essential clinical data related to a patient's medical history, diagnoses, medications, treatment plans, lab results, and other pertinent information relevant to the specific encounter or episode of care. EMRs are designed to streamline documentation and workflow processes within individual healthcare...

Source-oriented records, or SOR, are medical record-keeping organized by the data source. The SOR system was first developed in the mid-1900s to organize the growing patient data in hospitals and other healthcare facilities.
In an SOR, each discipline involved in patient care maintains a separate medical record section. This record-keeping method enables easy tracking of patient progress and ensures healthcare staff have access to up-to-date information.
Key Attributes include the following:

Area of Science:

  • Health Informatics
  • Digital Health Documentation

Background:

  • Healthcare data is often transmitted via PDF, creating a gap with the emerging FHIR standard for interoperability.
  • Existing digital documentation workflows can hinder the adoption of new technical standards.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To propose a method for embedding FHIR bundles within PDF documents.
  • To enable structured data reuse without altering established clinical workflows.

Main Methods:

  • Developed a hybrid document format combining PDF with embedded FHIR bundles.
  • Utilized FHIR Binary endpoints for processing and extracting embedded data.
  • Demonstrated proof-of-concept with German emergency medical services records.

Main Results:

  • Successfully transmitted vital parameters and timestamps in PDF format with preserved machine-readable structure.
  • Validated the extraction, validation, and mapping of embedded FHIR data.

Conclusions:

  • The proposed method bridges legacy PDF formats with modern FHIR standards for improved interoperability.
  • Offers a scalable migration path for integrating routine data into research infrastructures.
  • Accommodates heterogeneous IT landscapes and respects existing transport mechanisms.
