Abstract

In this paper, we propose an eHealth system based on Health-level7 – Clinical Document Architecture targeting the public healthcare sector in Egypt. The System uses HL7, which   is an international and well-recognized standard, to build electronic medical record while providing complete privacy and utmost security of patients' data. A novel property, that the system provides, is the online video consultation service which has become mandatory these days due to the widespread of COVID-19. Additionally, the system ensures the credibility of the physician's identity and practice through networking with the ministry of health and physicians' syndicate. The proposed system could also be accessible on an Android-based cell phone with all features fully functioning. Testing of the system's functionality and acceptability was conducted. It was noted that the system was well accepted by both parties; patient and physician. A comparison was carried out with other e-health systems highlighting the points of strength that the proposed system presents. The system has an extendable infrastructure that makes it flexible to integrate later with other systems.
