With the introduction of electronic medical record (EMR) systems into the primary care sector the collected data become available for purposes beyond individual patient care, i.e. chronic disease management, prevention and clinical performance evaluation. However EMR systems are primarily designed to support clinical tasks, and physicians focus on the treatment of individual patients. In this paper we follow the path of a community health centre (CHC), tracking the changes that came about with the secondary usage of EMR data, and presenting some of the lessons learned.
随着电子病历（EMR）系统引入初级保健领域，所收集的数据可用于个体患者护理之外的目的，即慢性病管理、预防和临床绩效评估。然而，EMR系统主要是为支持临床任务而设计的，医生则专注于个体患者的治疗。在本文中，我们追踪了一个社区健康中心（CHC）的历程，记录了EMR数据二次使用所带来的变化，并介绍了一些经验教训。
