Abstract

The article deals with architecture and EHRs on a conceptual and philosophical level. Architecture is seen as the essential human expression of being, exemplified through the thoughts and writings of the German architect Gottfried Semper, the American architect Philip Johnson and the German philosopher Martin Heidegger. It is the assumption of the article that the current versions of EHR architectures are the result of a technical and systemic perspective on architecture, as opposed to the thoughts of Semper, Johnson and Heidegger. The article has a value-based and phronetic approach to the topic field, and claims that construction of EHRs should be a matter of concern, and not, as it is for now, a matter of fact.
