Abstract

Electronic medical records are electronic records that include patient identity, treatment information, progress of the patient's disease, and other procedures given to patients while in a health facility. The importance of legal aspects in electronic medical records can be explained by their benefits as valid written evidence in handling legal issues, maintaining medical discipline, and implementing medical ethics. This research aims to understand the legal basis of electronic medical records from a health law perspective, as well as assess the position of electronic medical records as legal evidence in the health context. This research method involves reviewing literature related to the legal aspects of electronic medical records by collecting and identifying existing data. The research results show that the legal basis for electronic medical records lies in Law Number 11 of 2008 concerning Information and Electronic Transactions (ITE) Articles 5 and 6, as well as Regulation of the Minister of Health Number 24 of 2022. Thus, electronic medical records are recognized as legal evidence legal, supported by the provisions of the ITE Law.
