The present work aims to report the strategy behind this goal, highlighting the achievements and future challenges. Material/Methods: Over the past two years, a multidisciplinary team of radiation oncologists, medical physicists, therapists, nurses, information technology and medico-legal officers met on a weekly basis to develop an electronic infrastructure for PT. The project has three main goals: 1) to implement an Electronic Radiotherapy Health Record (ERHR), 2) to connect the ERHR with the already existing Electronic Health Records (EHRs) system and Hospital Management Systems (HMSs) of the Institute, 3) to connect the ERHR with the research platform (Clinical Data Platform - CDP) of the Institute. The Raysearch integrated system has been chosen for the clinical activities.
