Electronic Health Record Proposal for Long-Term Preservation
Juanjo Bote (University of Barcelona, Spain)
Copyright: © 2013 |Pages: 20
DOI: 10.4018/978-1-4666-3986-7.ch028
Abstract
This chapter introduces a model approach to long-term digital preservation of Electronic Health Record (EHR). The long-term digital preservation is an emerging trend in the environment of digital libraries. However, legal or business needs may cause the use of digital preservation strategies in different fields. This is the case of the EHR as part of the information system of a healthcare institution. After a reasonable space of time without activity, an EHR becomes a passive information unit. Consequently, this passive information unit remains safe in a separate information system where the main purpose is digitally preserving this information on a long-term basis. There are two appropriate methodologies, Trustworthy Repository Audit and Certification Criteria (TRAC) and a Reference Model for Open Archival Information System (OAIS). These methodologies can widely be adopted by health care organizations to preserve EHR in the long-term.

The Place of Traditional Ethical Values in Curbing Human Trafficking and the Enhancement of Democratic Principles in Nigeria
According to prostitution organisations, most women working in the prostitution business are migrants; equally, data and estimations on victims of trafficking for sexual exploitation indicate that most of them are migrants. As prostitution and pornography are transnational businesses, a victim of trafficking might have to cross borders many times to provide sex services in different countries.

Fostering Communities in Urban Multi-Cultural Neighbourhoods: Some Methodological Reflections
In our context, migration is a key discriminant which divides our club members into two groups, that is, those with a migration background and those without. However, despite stereotyical belief, there is obviously no clear connection between ethnicity and migration. Only a few people may be considered pure locals, which raises the strong need for localization of support and the negotiation of cultural belonging.
