Abstract

In the paper peculiarities of the third phase of the introduction of information technology integrating a diversity of medical and administrative systems into one coherent interoperable environment are discussed. The importance of language problems during the medical information exchange is shown. The urgent needs are reflected in the many projects around the Computerized Medical Record projects for a unified medical language (GALEN, CANON, Convergent Terms project, etc.). The problems of developing terminology and classification systems related to electronic healthcare record are considered.
