Hi. Our EHR Center in South Korea has researched standard EHR(and partly EHR system) for 1 year. so I think first thing you have to is Standard & related documents review.
1) ISO ISO TS 18308 and 20514 (actually result from EU's effort (see below)) 2) EU's effort (GEHR, CEN, openEHR) GEHR's deliverables about EHR requirements is very useful. CEN's 13606 and HISA... openEHR's information model, archetype model, service model Incidentally Dr. Dipak's(openEHR member) PhD thesis is also good ^^; 3) US' effort (IOM, HL7...) IOM's books and reports help me recognize the reason why EHR is needed (maily conceptual ideas) HL7's message standard is useful like you who already have local EMR system. also need to experience many EMR(EHR) systems in other countries. but finally i think, if you can make a new EMR system, then EU's efforts is very helpful. but if you can't, after comparing functionalities of between your EMR system and HL7(or anything) EHR system, you upgade your EMR system (former is my concern but latter is working in our center) if you already know my above mentions, i am sorry. but i want to share my study.
