L RATIONALE

one of the main challenges of today's health systems is access to real-time quality heatth
information for evidence-based decision *akiog. In the recent years, health
carc experts, managers,
providers and recipients have long recognized the growing impact
and utility of information-and
communication technologies (ICTs) in addressing thJaforesaia freatth disparitythrough
bringing the
delivery of health care and making the health iystems more efftcient and rbsponsiv*
to feof,le's
and expectations, and concomitantly, promoting univeral access to care, including
1ryds access to
information for decision making. This *as e*emplifr.d by the rise in the develoiment
and
implementation of various health information systemiand other related eHealth
initiatives.

However, the plryning and utilization of ICTs for Health or eHealth during that period
has
been heavily rifed with minimal coordination and integration during developmints
among key
eHealth players. This, in turn, have resulted to implementaiion of eHealth
solutions that are op"Ltiog

 To achieve standardization on elechonic health reporting protocols, and optimization on the
use of technological resources, the Department of Health (DOH) has developed the Electronic Health
Record Systems (EHRSs), the Integrated Clinic Information System (iClinicsys), and the Integrated
Hospital Operations and Management Information System (iHOMIS) as reference models for
electronic medical record systems (EMRSs) for rural health unit/health centers (RHUs/HCs),
barangay health stations (BHSs), clinics and their equivalent, and health management information
systems (HMISs) for hospitals, respectively. These reference models have not only made service
delivery and facility management more effrcient over the years, but also proved that required
national heatth data reports can be extracted and electronically submitted to DOH andor Philippine
Health Insurance Corporation @hilHealth). To date, these two (2) systems capture not only the
national health data reporting needs, but also include organizational requirements. With the advent
implementation of the Philippine Health Information Exchange (PHIE), these reference models can
therefore serve as benchmarks to achieve interoperability.

Guided by the Philippine eHealth Strategic Plan for Universal Health Care (UHC) as
embodied in the Philippine Health Agenda (PHA), one of the identified policy interventions to
tangibly realize, streamline and optimize the investments in eHealth and data for decision making is
through the implementation of the National eHealth Electronic Health Record System Validation
(NEHEHRSV). The NEHEHRSV is envisioned to serve as the policy arm to implement national
systems conformity assessment protocol for national health data reporting requirements of DOH
and/or PhilHeatth. Specifically, the NEHEHRSV shall confirm if an EHRS measures up and
conforms to defined reporting requirements and submission protocols. Further, it is envisaged that its
implementation will improve data capture, processing, aggregation, exchange and reporting on
national health data requirements and standardize submission protocols among implementing health
facilities and other health reporting institutions/organizations.

This Joint Administrative Order aims to establish the policies and guidelines in the
implementation of the NEHEHRSV. It specifically serves as guide for DOH and PhilHealth to
implement a harmonized approach to validate an EHRS for national health data reporting for
improved data collection, processing and generation of country health reports.

II. OBJECTIVES

This Joint Administrative Order aims to:

l. Define the policies and guidelines to successfirly implement the NEHEHRSV;
2. Define the roles, duties and responsibilities of concerned agencies to support the NEHEHRSV
implementation; and
3. Define the overall governance and management structures and mechanisms in
the
implementation, operations, management and sustainability of the NEHEHRSV.

ilI.SCOPE OF APPLICATION

This Administrative Order shall apply to all national, regional, local and branch offices under
the DOH and PhilHeatth; the centralAread office of the Deparfinent of Science and Technology
(DOST), particularly the Philippine Council for Health Research and Development, and the
Department of Information and Communications Technology (DICT); regional and provincial health
offices; public and private health facilities; health care providers; software developers/providers of
HMIS, and registry systems; local or international institutions, medical
CfiRiTffi5E"trRtE 60nU and other stakeholder organizations with an EHRS component;
and all concerned stakehr in health data collection, processing and reporting.
