  • Abstract
    We outline a systematic approach to defining, eliciting, and specifying the structure and the information content of the electronic health record (EHR). The paper presents a scheme for specifying a uniform, but extensible EHR and for eliciting both the structure and contents of this EHR. The next step will be to carry out the proposed process with health-care providers to begin to put some order into health records and to allow specifications of families of interacting HI applications.
