Abstract(s)

Electronic Health Records are key components to an eﬃcient exploitation of information technologies in health care institutions. Nevertheless, several barriers that hinder its wide adoption subsists. The co-existence of dissimilar and incompatible health information systems and the absence of a unique central repository for personal medical data are some examples. This paper, we propose a web-based health records repository that allow citizens to have a unique virtual card that integrates all their personal clinical data. Privacy policies and the access control mechanisms are also discussed.
