Abstract: The advancement of Information and Communication Technologies (ICT) in the healthcare sector presents significant opportunities for the implementation of Electronic Health Record (EHR) systems. Such systems enable both healthcare professionals and patients to access medical histories directly, thereby enhancing transparency and continuity of care. However, the implementation of an EHR system is a complex undertaking. The chosen implementation strategy plays a critical role in integrating existing health information systems and ensuring their interoperability. This paper aims to design and model an integrated information system for Electronic Health Records in the context of occupational medicine. It examines best practices adopted globally during the deployment of EHR systems. We propose a distributed architecture in which employee health data is stored locally within each organization’s database. A centralized reporting system is introduced to facilitate access to specific medical record data points as needed. Furthermore, we advocate for the integration of artificial intelligence into the system to monitor employee health. This monitoring would leverage both the medical examination data contained in the EHR and contextual information about the work environment. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
