The rapid development and distribution of information communication industry facilitates the changes ofhospital administration, introducing EMR(Electronic Medical Record) instead of paper-based medical recordin the medical field. The developed countries such as U.S. have established EMR system after in themiddle of 1970s because the primary advantages of EMR is to store and handle vast amounts of recordsefficiently and increase the quality of health care. Most of health organizations in Korea also apply medicalrecord system to their administration. As the result, they have accomplished a scientific administrationsystem through the use of medical record to handle a variety of patient’s information including patient’sconfidentiality and privacy such as family history, social status, income level, and so on. However, access to and the misuse of EMR causes illegal infringement of patient’s information and finallyit becomes a very serious medical issue. Potential leakage and misuse of records may seriously infringepatient’s privacy rights. In this respect, the related agencies in the public and private sector have beenmaking efforts to prevent patient’s records leakages. Especially, the revision bill of Medical Law in 2002establishes the ways on the security and standards of electronic records. However, it does not provide theproper guidelines which is applied to the rapid changes of the medical environment. One of the most priorities in the hospital administration is the production and maintenance of an accuratemedical records fulfilled by medical recorders. Therefore, it is very important for health care providers tohire ethical-based medical recorders. But, unfortunately most of hospitals overlook the importance of theirroles. All parts including government, physician and patient must have more concerns on the problemsrelated to EMR. Therefore, this study aims to propose the proper ways to resolve the problems comingfrom EMR.
