abstract
The paper focuses on the goals and basic principles of the electronic
patient-record project for the NN Burdenko Neurosurgical Institute, a
treatment and research organisation in Moscow. The project’s main aims
are to deliver information support for the three basic business
processes of the Institute: daily activities of medical personnel;
scientific research; and medical administration activities, the first of
these having priority.
A special technology, MEDSET (modeling, engineering, deployment,
support and evolution technology), was developed. It allows
evolutionary development of an EPR system and step-by-step
implementation transparently to the users. Basic features of MEDSET and
its program platform MML*Web are described. Data on intensity of use of
the EPR and plans for its future development are given.
