GEHR Deployments around the World

GEHR - The Good European Health Record

The GEHR project was and EU 3rd Framework project (Advanced Informatics in Medicine project 2014), and ran from 1992 - 1995. There were 21 participating organisations from 8 countries. A project summary is available. The main achievements of the GEHR project were:

• comprehensive requirements of the EHR, which have since fed into many other projects, including ISO 18308 (see ISO FAQ);
• a structured object-oriented model of the EHR, which contained basic data types, versioning semantics, and the multi-level structuring now accepted in CEN and HL7 (now known as Folder/Composition/Section/Entry/Cluster/Element; on GEHR it was Transaction/Headed_section/Entry/Compound/Item)
