Introduction on the eHR Office |
| To take forward the complex and multi-faceted development programme of electronic health record (eHR) sharing as an essential infrastructure for implementing the healthcare reform, the Food and Health Bureau set up the eHealth Record Office (eHR Office). The eHR Office plans, develop, implement and manage the territory-wide population-wide eHR sharing system, handling the various policy and legal issues including data privacy and security arising from the system, and engaging the various stakeholders in the private sector as well as the general public in its development. |
The eHR Office is to-
- Spearhead and coordinate the overall eHR programme;
- Conduct consultation with stakeholders and the public, oversee policy matters and legal issues related to eHR;
- Invite proposals from the private healthcare and IT sectors for development of electronic medical record (eMR) / electronic patient record (ePR) and interfacing with the eHR sharing;
- Develop common technical standards and operational protocols related to eHR sharing;
- Operate and manage the eHR sharing; and
- Administer the participation and registration of patients and healthcare providers in the eHR sharing system.
