Abstract:
An Electronic health record or an EHR is a patient’s digital version of their health
data which is composed of observations, reports, diagnoses, remedies, and proposed
treatments. These records are used to maintain any information digitally so that they
can be used by health care providers to provide people with treatment and have their
records stored digitally on a system. A cloud-based system is a distributed network of
systems that hosts data online and it minimizes the cost of infrastructure and upkeep of
such infrastructure drastically. This is ideal for developing countries that cannot spare
their economic reserves for implementing such a system. A gap was identified which
would allow the availability of resources for easy implementation of such a system. Our
aim with this thesis is to perform a Systematic literature review that will consolidate
such resources so that implementation of systems like this can be easily found. More than
80 papers were identified to discuss the appropriate system architectures and discussions
from these papers are listed for the readers to aid in their implementation.
