KMEHR or Kind Messages for Electronic Healthcare Record is a Belgian medical data standard introduced in 2002, designed to enable the exchange of structured clinical information.
The KMEHR standard consists of an XML (eXtensible Markup Language) message format defined by the KMEHR XML Schema, a set of reference tables and a set of recognized medical transactions compliant with this grammar.
The medical transaction item gathers the information reported by one healthcare professional at a given instance.
Summarized Electronic Health Record (SumEHR) is a KMEHR message, used for the exchange of medical information.
It summarizes the minimal set of data that a physician needs in order to understand the medical status of the patient in a few minutes and to ensure the continuity of care.
