Dear all, The EHR is about documenting and archiving data and information from a health/care process. There are good well developed standards from the Documenters/archivers domain. http://www.interpares.org/
Many requirements are defined that most messages do not address. And most systems that rely on messages for communication do conform to the requirements from Interpares. Requirements for messages that update data bases are never completely the same as those for ICT-systems that document data and information. Data and information that is searchable, usable correctly and safely after 20 years and surviving many changes in society and IT technologies.
