RESUMO

The main reason for implementing EMRs is the fast and thorough access to patient information, especially in emergency cases. Instant access to a patient's history can prevent delays in diagnosis and development of a treatment plan, especially where patients have chronic diseases.
A debate which needs to be resolved is the question of patients' access to the EMR and who owns the information. Points of view are divided on this question and several aspects need to be considered. Another issue is related to patient privacy and confidentiality. Ethical considerations can be assessed with respect to the principles of autonomy, beneficence and non-maleficence, and justice. These questions and issues are discussed in the paper.
