Abstract
This paper presents a brief overview of the concepts of collaboration,
communication, data exchange and challenges for a patients’ centric health information system, simultaneously used in two different countries for crossborder citizens. The system intends to create a Personal Health Record (PHR)
for participants (patients, doctors, pharmacists) that includes the patient’s current and past health status, prescriptions and referrals. Using these data, we can
contribute to creating a better and higher-quality health service system in crossborder regions. The electronic prescription (E-Prescription) and the electronic
referral (E-Referral) are the important points in the process of digitization of the
cross-border PHR system. Their transformation from written to electronic form
creates digitized records that can enable the treatment of the patients in another
participating country. The main goal of the software system presented in this
paper is to enable cross-border collaboration in the healthcare domain between
two neighboring countries: North Macedonia and Greece. Both countries have
their own health record systems. In this paper, we address the challenges in
communication and synchronization between the created webPHR systems for
the Cross4all project.
