Order No. 75 of 10.02.14 approved:

  • Standard requirements for electronic health record;
  • Standard requirements for electronic medical record;
  • Standard requirements for the identification of patients, health workers, health organizations;
  • Technical requirements for interaction (communication) with e-health information systems;
  • Regulations for ensuring information security.

The standard requirements for the electronic health record define the approaches to the formation of the EHR, which ensure the collection of all key information about a person's health and the medical care provided to him, regardless of the time and place of the provision of medical services; describes the requirements for consolidation and structuring of data to maintain the clinical context. It defines a PHC physician as moderator of an individual person's EHR. It also describes the life cycle of the electronic health record from creation to archiving. The standard requirements for the electronic medical record define the requirements for information generated outside of primary health care to form a minimum set of data for provision in the EHR.

The requirements for the identification of patients, medical organizations and medical workers are defined in the standard requirements for the identification of acting health actors.

The two remaining regulations are technical and designed to define the requirements for interaction (communication) with e-health information systems, electronic documents and medical images, and the definition of information security requirements. The standard interoperability requirements are based on the HL7 standards (HL7 v3, CDA R2) and DICOM.

The implementation of these requirements enables interaction of systems that do not have an identical architecture or internal representation of stored data. In other words it will not matter in which information system the medical data is formed, the main thing is that they are structured and transmitted in a readable format. The regulation on information security establishes the basic requirements for ensuring the confidentiality of personal medical data in e-health processes, the differentiation of access rights to electronic information resources containing personal medical data, as well as the procedures for the work and interaction of responsible persons in the protection of information.
