Chapter 1

The nature of electronic health records

Abstract

Contemporary health care increasingly relies in its planning and delivery on the use of electronic health records. These records differ from traditional paper-based records not only in that they are electronic in nature, but also that they constitute patient analogues. The present chapter examines how and why this is the case. It begins with an analysis of the relationship between health records and their subjects, sketches how this relationship is situated in data- and information-space, outlines the difference between paper-based and electronic records, and indicates the ethical implications this has for originating them and dealing with them in an appropriate fashion.
