Abstract
Electronic Health Record (EHR) gives the ability to share health information electronically; this can help to provide higher quality and safer care for patients. This research aims to provide a roadmap to implement the EHR in Egypt. This roadmap provides detailed steps to construct the EHR nationwide network. Designing the proposed roadmap used the experiences of countries which successfully implemented EHR, previous experiments in Egypt and the views of health service partners in Egypt. Also, all barriers faced EHR implementation general and especially in Egypt collected and studied to give the feasibility of the proposed roadmap. The most important steps in the proposed roadmap are: overcome time barrier, take practical steps towards the confidentiality and privacy of EHR data, overcome reasons of potential resistance of actors then preparation of feasibility studies.
