Le carnet de santé électronique de l'enfant, une évolution naturelle

The health record in its paper version is a success as a device of interprofessional communication around the child. It made it possible to outline a true "culture of sharing". But it presents limits, which principal ones are a bad control of its confidentiality, a defect of ubiquity, a lack of interactivity and evolution capacities. Its computerization in a standardized architecture will make it possible to go through these limits, making of the child's health notebook a powerful tool for a better communication, sharing informations and the medical follow-up of the child. All the actors of the child's health will be easily able to reach informations that they try, today, to share with more or less success. So defined, the child's electronic health record, the heir of the paper version, should find all its place as personal medical record using the same infrastructures and the same developments as the adult one.
