Abstract
Sharing of healthcare related information among the different healthcare providers is a crucial aspect for the continuity of the provided care The purpose of this study is the presentation of a system appropriate to be used upon the transition or the referral of a patient, and especially in transition from hospital to homecare. The function of the developed system is based upon the creation of a structured subset of data, concerning the most relevant facts about a patient's healthcare, organized and transportable, in order to be employed during the post-discharge homecare period, enabling simultaneously the planning and the optimal documentation of the provided homecare. The structure and the content of the created data sets are complying with the ASTM E2369-0 Standard, Specification for Continuity of Care Record.
