Abstract

Regarding medical record keeping, legislation in Portugal is sparse in relation to conservation of several legal instruments. Furthermore, it contributes to the knowledge of most health professionals and health institution managers who are obliged to keep the information of their patients. In Brazil, despite the absence of legislation, the Federal Medical Council has been consolidating the theme through resolutions. Both countries are heading to rule in favors of permanent guard, which can only be achieved by switching paper support for electronic support.
