Executive Summery
The electronic health record is the way of keeping the health record regarding the patients. This
is an advanced way of e-governance. The main aim of the electronic health record is to keep
the record of the health record by the health care providers. The health records can be shared
among the doctors and other medical practicing people. E-health record can be implemented
using EIA framework. The main purpose of this paper is to evaluate and discuss different health
EIA framework for the implementation of the e-health record. Certain framework has been
proposed after the analysis of different frameworks and it can be assumed that the proposed
framework will eliminate all the disadvantages of the previous frameworks. The paper
concludes that e-health record will be beneficial for the users. Some recommendations have
been made for the further improvement of the system.

EIA IMPLEMENTATION
1.0 Introduction
The advancement of technology has opened up a way to get all the relevant information
from the media regarding a service or the organizations. The use of internet ids becoming
important and the governments have realized its importance for providing the service to
the people. Providing service through the internet by the government is known as e-
governance. Government is using internet for controlling and monitoring the system and
the services provided by them. This bill has made the health providers to keep the
electronic record of the patients. The data integration is achieved by the health record as it
allows to share the patient details among the care providers. The patients and the
healthcare providers.
Enterprise information architecture has been used to develop th ehelath care record
keeping model. This framework provides the logical way of designing the way for
implementation of the healthcare record. The development of the health care record will be
done according to the methods and the pattern provided by EIA framework. The risk
assessment of the developed system will also be done by this framework.
2.0 Architecture regarding Enterprise Information
2.1Model regarding Enterprise Information
In order to develop the health record various EIA model can be used. These are-
 Federal Enterprise Architecture Model
 The open Group Model
 Department of Defense Architecture Model
 Zachman Architecture Model
Problem regarding interoperability can be solved by Zachmn Model. The ideas in this
model are combined and expressed into the combination of five columns and six rows. In order
to implement the health record with proper functioning the interoperability is needed.
Requirements for describing the enterprise business are described in this model. However, this
model does not indicate any sequential steps for the development of the architecture.The use
of Federal Enterprise Architecture can be useful in elimination this problem. This model clearly
states the exact mission and vision of the organization.
Advantages
There are certain advantages of electronic health record. The data in the record can be
accessed from the any parts of the place at any time. The availability of data is helpful for
boththe health care providers and the patients in argent basis. Some of the features of the
electronic health records which attribute to its advantage-
 Integration of data: One of the main advantage of this system is data integration. All the
data associated to the health conditions and treatments of the patients are recorded in
the health record. This enables the options to use the past medical records as a
