Using technology to make EHRs patient-friendly and future-proof : "The advent of archetypes and templates should play a major role in empowering clinicians through allowing them to directly specify the clinical structure and content of EHR systems. Archetypes will also help to improve the quality of EHR data through in-built data validation and can potentially help to improve the flexibility of data input and presentation in EHR applications. They will certainly make EHR systems more responsive to change as new clinical concepts become available or old ones need modification.
There is much to be done but there are encouraging signs that major stakeholders are beginning to recognise that the very future of health systems depends on more efficient and effective information management. The EHR is arguably the most important foundation component in this pursuit. "
