Abstract

This chapter will outline the design of an innovative and pervasive Lifetime Health Record (LHR) dataset for the Ministry of Health Malaysia (MOHM). The dataset was developed after an analysis of clinical consultation workflows and the usage of patient demographic and clinical records in a typical outpatient clinic. Common LHR components, structures, and messages are proposed. The proposed dataset and associated framework are crucial for achieving prompt access to a patient’s LHR and for the provision of seamless and continuous care. Implications for management of health information and knowledge and pervasive access are provided.
