RENHICE — Peru's National Electronic Health Record Registry

What Is RENHICE?

RENHICE (Registro Nacional de Historias Clínicas Electrónicas) is Peru's national infrastructure for clinical data exchange between healthcare facilities. Established by Law 30024, it mandates that all healthcare establishments in the country — both public and private — integrate with this registry to share clinical data securely and interoperably.

RENHICE functions as a centralized repository that enables healthcare professionals to access a patient's clinical history regardless of where the patient was previously treated. This is critical in Peru, where patients frequently receive care across different tiers of the healthcare system, from primary care posts to specialized hospitals.

Implementing RENHICE connectivity requires hospital information systems (HIS) to comply with defined interoperability standards, including standardized data formats and secure exchange protocols. RENHICE compliance is closely linked to the SIHCE, MINSA's electronic health record information system.

Why It Matters in Healthcare

• Continuity of care: Enables any healthcare professional to access a patient's complete clinical history regardless of where they were treated, improving clinical decision-making.
• Legal mandate: Law 30024 requires all healthcare facilities in Peru to integrate with RENHICE, making it a mandatory regulatory requirement.
• Reduction of duplications: Prevents unnecessary repetition of tests, diagnoses, and treatments, generating savings for both patients and the healthcare system.
• National interoperability: Connects facilities across different health networks (MINSA, EsSalud, Armed Forces, private sector), creating a truly integrated health ecosystem.
• Emergency care improvement: In urgent situations, physicians can quickly access critical information such as allergies, current medications, and pre-existing conditions.
