Implementation process for the unified electronic medical record (UEMR) in Bogotá

Interoperability is one of the guiding principles of digital transformation and has already shown results in terms of greater equity and accessibility, by allowing health service providers, even for the most vulnerable people, to have access to medical records. Along these lines, the city of Bogotá began a process in 2016 to create a unified electronic medical record system(UEMR). Indeed, the process allows the interoperability of the information systems of the city's integrated public health services network and became the roadmap for future national interoperability. This document describes the development of this experience, highlighting achievements, successes, challenges and lessons that can be used for the implementation of other experiences in the region.
