“The development of the Estonian eHealth Record System has been progressing steadily since its launch in December 2008. It will continue gradually until 2013.
The idea of an Electronic Health Record (EHR) System for Estonia emerged in 2002. The purpose was to develop a nation-wide framework (database) to facilitate the exchange of digital medical documents and of health information. These were only available in local databases and information systems which were not able to communicate with each other.”
