ELECTRONIC HEALTH RECORD IN THE ERA OF INDUSTRY 4.0: THE FRENCH EXAMPLE

Abstract

The recent implementation of the Electronic Health Record (EHR) in France is\npart of a more general process of digitizing information flows, as the world\nenters the fourth industrial revolution in a phenomenon known as Industry 4.0.\nBehind this concept lies the concern to allow Man to remain permanently in\ncontrol of his destiny, despite an increasingly interconnected world (Internet\nof Things, cooperative robots, augmented reality, etc.). Accordingly, the\nimplementation of EHR must guarantee the respect for the private life of each\ncitizen. From this perspective, healthcare professionals will therefore have to\nconstantly ensure the protection of medical confidentiality during Electronic\nData Interchange (EDI). This paper summarises the current state of the use of\nEHR in France. Based on a survey conducted by the European Commission to assess\nthe deployment of digitalisation in the health sector in EU countries, this\narticle aims to highlight the opportunities and perspectives that Industry 4.0\ncould bring to the health sector in France. However, this study also identifies\na number of limits related to the application of such a system, the first of\nwhich is cyber threat or transhumanism. To this end, a SWOT matrix identifies\nthe strengths and weaknesses related to the implementation of the French EHR.\n
