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).
