The use of EHRs and the benefits from them are significant for healthcare and health informatics. Data form the basis for any EHR and its potential to realize these benefits. This paper considers the housing of information and knowledge management in an EHR system. Are we experiencing a revolution in healthcare? Findings from an investigation of alternative approaches, followed by an evaluation of the importance of the adoption of a standard information model relative to benefit realization, is presented. We conclude that an EHR in any environment is not limited to sharing or information exchange. A paradigm shift in thinking, based on the requirement for standardized concept representation, is required. This is an essential prerequisite for a new vision of healthcare supported by digital technologies.
电子健康记录（EHRs）的使用及其带来的益处对医疗保健和健康信息学意义重大。数据构成了任何电子健康记录的基础以及实现这些益处的潜力。本文探讨了电子健康记录系统中的信息存储和知识管理。我们正在经历医疗保健领域的一场革命吗？本文呈现了对替代方法的调查结果，随后评估了采用标准信息模型相对于实现效益的重要性。我们得出结论，在任何环境下，电子健康记录都不限于共享或信息交换。基于标准化概念表示的要求，思维模式需要发生范式转变。这是由数字技术支持的医疗保健新愿景的一个基本前提。
