In most hospitals several heterogeneous Information Systems (IS) store parts of a still scattered patient record. Virtual Patient Records (VPR) are systems that aggregate known data elements about the patient from different IS in real-time. This papers aims to present the main lessons learned from the implementation and the usage during 6 years of a VPR system. Ten major lessons were divided in recommendations for software developers, information managers and institutional policy makers. Implementing and using a VPR is a difficult journey but can generate great value for the institution if most of these recommendations are taken in consideration.
在大多数医院中，几个异构信息系统（IS）存储着仍然分散的患者记录的各个部分。虚拟患者记录（VPR）系统能够实时汇总来自不同信息系统的已知患者数据元素。本文旨在介绍从一个VPR系统6年的实施和使用过程中汲取的主要经验教训。十条主要经验教训分为针对软件开发人员、信息管理人员和机构政策制定者的建议。实施和使用VPR是一段艰难的历程，但如果考虑到大多数这些建议，可为机构带来巨大价值。
