The aim of this paper is to present a method for ensuring the authenticity of the origin and integrity of the data in the registry of the EHR system. The authenticity of the origin and integrity of the content of the EHR must be guaranteed throughout the storage period of EHRs by using the correctly defined organizational and technical measures. This paper introduces a method that uses timestamps and Evidence Record Syntax (ERS) to create and maintain evidence records for the purpose of a future integrity verification. Healthcare professional, during verification of subjects of care EHR correctness, can rely on cryptographic algorithms, instead of relying on proper functioning of access control solutions.
