Abstract :
Introduction: The Brazilian Ministry of Health declared openEHR as the reference model for the definition of electronic health records (EHR). Aims: To unveil the issues related to the development and implementation of an openEHR-based pervasive HIS in a Brazilian public health primary care unit. Methods and preliminary results: They are divided into five subsections (analysis of physical infrastructure and computational resources, Modelling the Problem, Software Design and Information Security). Expected Results: We expect to implement a HIS based on an open source architecture, validated and aligned with evolving clinical content, economically viable and scalable considering future plans of physical structure´s expansion. Conclusions: This pionner project can be a reference to further implementations and scientic studies.
