PropeR: a multi disciplinary EPR system

This article describes the architecture of an EPR system developed for the PropeR project. This EPR system not only aims at supporting home care of stroke patients, but is also designed in such a way that it can be ported to other medical services without much effort. We will briefly describe the Stroke Service and the related PropeR project. Starting from a list of requirements to construct a generic EPR system we will outline the architecture and describe the standards and methods used. Subsequently we describe the implementation and the problems encountered. In the discussion, we will go into the advantages and disadvantages of the tools and techniques we have used
