Abstract:
This thesis brings contributions to finding methods for
designing software systems that manage electronic health
records. It investigates a way to structure the data based on
types of inputs identified and then goes on to improve the
flexibility by finding ways to integrate existing specifications,
standards and terminologies into the solution. The thesis handles
multiple areas of interest concerning the development of
electronic-heath record applications: storage, processing and the
presentation of data; all in a structured manner.
