18 Electronic <strong>Health</strong> Records and Interoperability for <strong>Pediatric</strong> Care 259<br />

EHR-S functionalities <strong>in</strong>clude:<br />

1. Longitud<strong>in</strong>al collection of electronic health <strong>in</strong>formation for and about persons,<br />

where health <strong>in</strong>formation is def<strong>in</strong>ed as <strong>in</strong>formation perta<strong>in</strong><strong>in</strong>g to the medical<br />

and psychiatric health and wellness status of an <strong>in</strong>dividual or to care provided<br />

to an <strong>in</strong>dividual<br />

2. Immediate electronic access to person- and population-level <strong>in</strong>formation by<br />

authorized, and only authorized, users<br />

3. Ability to provide access to the same <strong>in</strong>formation <strong>in</strong> multiple physical<br />

locations<br />

4. Provision of knowledge and decision-support that enhance the quality, safety,<br />

and efficiency of patient care and<br />

5. Support of efficient processes for health care delivery and adm<strong>in</strong>istrative tasks 7<br />

The EHR-S Functional Model (EHR-S FM) developed by <strong>Health</strong> Level Seven<br />

divides EHR-S functions (from a user’s perspective) <strong>in</strong>to three groups: direct care,<br />

supportive, and <strong>in</strong>formation <strong>in</strong>frastructures (Fig. 18.1). 8 “Functional profiles” are<br />

functions selected from the reference list that are applicable for a particular purpose<br />

(user, care sett<strong>in</strong>g, doma<strong>in</strong>, or other criteria) and may apply to a given EHR-S.<br />
