ISO 18308:2011
Scope
This International Standard defines the set of requirements for the architecture of a system that processes,
manages and communicates electronic health record (EHR) information: an EHR architecture. The
requirements are formulated to ensure that these EHRs are faithful to the needs of healthcare delivery, are
clinically valid and reliable, are ethically sound, meet prevailing legal requirements, support good clinical
practice and facilitate data analysis for a multitude of purposes.
This International Standard does not specify the full set of requirements that need to be met by an EHR
system for direct patient care or for other use cases, but the requirements defined by this International
Standard do contribute to the governance of EHR information within such systems.
