Abstract
This paper presents a model of electronic medical record that developed in cloud computing environment. The model integrates the activity of recording, reporting, and utilizing medical data. Currently, hospitals and health centers in South Sulawesi use paper record for diagnosis and medicine prescriptions. The disadvantages of using paper record are it takes time to find patients data; especially referred patients, and the record are easily to damage and lost. The objective of the developed model is to synchronize all data patients in hospitals and health centers in South Sulawesi which allows all physicians in South Sulawesi improve their working efficiency and accuracy. Furthermore, the model system design offers high efficiency for operations such as data mining on the medical data collected during diagnosis. The data mining results can be applied on inventory planning, diagnosis assistance, clinical research and disease control and prevention.
