Abstract

The adoption and use of electronic health records is now commonplace. Their primary purpose is to support individual patient health journeys by episode and during their lifetime. The many definitions in use are explored. Data structures adopted for these repositories vary. Quality and certification options adopted influence how these data repositories are to make their valuable content readily accessible for optimum primary and secondary use in today’s digital era. The data supply chain, for which EHRs provide source data, is explored all the way to large data storage hubs and data lakes. This determines technical connectivity, optimum storage, and structural and technical requirements within a digital health ecosystem. It is concluded that the adoption of a suitable supportive foundational infrastructure, technology neutral data storage capacity, metadata standards, and standard data models and templates, containing standard data value sets, are some of the key requirements to enable a well-functioning digital health ecosystem to be realised.
