Introduction: Inserted in the challenge of enabling the interaction of health professionals with electronic medical records - based on ISO 13606 - as well as allow them to customize interfaces (although preserving the structure and standardization of Electronic Health Records Systems (S-RES), the objective of this cutout paper is to characterize the essential properties of S-RES - flexibility, standardization and structure and ease of interaction - by analyzing three of these systems. Method: It was used the Design Science Research method that seeks to generate theoretical knowledge as solving a practical problem (identified in the context of a broader research). More specifically, the goal detailed in this cutout, demanded a literature review of the existing requirements and difficulties of S-RES users, followed by a survey and characterization of the essential properties of the S-RES and the establishment of assessment criteria. The inspection method completes the methodological proposal, since the questions (which indicate the criteria) were presented to two experts as a basis for the analysis. Results: In the proposed cutout, the essential properties of the systems were raised, characterized and analyzed in three S-RES. It was confirmed the importance of the essential properties of these types of systems, although hard to find in a combined way on a single system. Conclusion: The challenges posed to the S-RES are not confined to an approach or even to a context of use. As future work it is propose the creation of an extensible interface model for Electronic Health Record systems based on ISO 13606.
