The performance of our hospitals is nowadays highly linked to the level of access to and
organization of clinical information. In this regard, the electronic medical record (EMR)

potential of our health service institutions in this area. The relevance and interest of this subject to
Internal Medicine and the responsibility of the
Internist in its organization and management in hospitals is also discussed.
