The application of Electronic Medical Record (RME) in Indonesia refers to several legal provisions, including:

Articles 46 and 47 regulate the obligation to record and store medical records, and emphasize the importance of maintaining patient data confidentiality.

Article 6 provides a legal basis for the use of electronic documents in the health sector.

Then article 16 specifically regulates technical requirements that must be met by the medical record electronic system, such as ensuring data security, system availability, and protection of unauthorized access.

This regulation generally defines medical records as a complete record of patients, from identity to medical history. However, this regulation focuses more on conventional or manual medical records.

Along with the development of information technology, the need for special arrangements for electronic medical records is increasingly urgent.

Unfortunately, there are no rules that specifically regulate all aspects of electronic medical records.

Thus, it is important to make specific regulations that contain the general principles contained in the existing RME, so that it can be used as a reference. This is important to ensure that the rights of patients remain protected, especially in terms of confidentiality of health data.
