Abstract
Technological and medical advancements necessitate that hospitals adopt electronic medical records (EMRs) to remain up-to-date. EMRs streamline the management of patient information for hospital staff, doctors, and healthcare professionals. EMRs improve healthcare delivery by facilitating quick data retrieval, supporting medical decision-making, and optimizing medication management. Unlike Electronic Health Records (EHRs), which compile patient EMRs within healthcare centers, EMRs focus on individual records. Indonesian regulations, including Articles 46 and 47 of Law Number 29 of 2004 and Minister of Health Regulation Number 269 of 2008, govern medical records' legal aspects. Under the ITE Law, electronic medical records are admissible evidence. Minister of Health Regulation No. 24 of 2022 requires healthcare facilities to maintain electronic medical records, replacing Regulation No. 269 of 2008.
