Minimum identification record
Minimum identification record is one component defining the basic framework of the electronic documentation (the other component is the minimum continuous record). It involves mainly the primary identification of the patient, e.g. the month and year of his birth and his gender. Based on this information, the system generates an unique patient ID which will be always associated with this patient. Within the modular composition of the whole parametric documentation, the minimum identification record is obligatory and superior to the detailed description of the disease and treatment results.
Minimum continuous record
The minimum continuous record is the most important component in the modular composition of the parametric documentation. Along with the minimum identification record, it makes the second part of the basic framework of the documentation, i.e. the "core" to which other records will be related. The continuous records defines the individual phases of medical care, their input and output characteristics etc.
