La medecine du futur. Le lifting indispensable du dossier medical personnalise et informatise.

A revised Electronic Health Record (HER) is one of the most important keystones for the building of a new ecosystem. The latter is characterized by keywords such as big data, artificial intelligence, and cloud technology. The HER, which is used nowadays, does not fit within this purpose and - by the way - is considered as one of the most important reasons for frustration and burnout in the medical profession. Very often, the HER is mainly designed to collect data useful for billing purposes. However, it has to evolve rapidly to a tool which allows both storage of controlled and validated data, and analysis resulting in useful information. This information can help the professional both in diagnosis and prevention, at an individual level as well as at the level of population health. It should also be of potential use for organization and management of the health care sector as a whole. This deep facelift is an absolute requirement, if we want to cope with the major challenges of our exhausted health care sector.
