Even though the Electronic Medical Record(EMR) projects have been going on for many years, with many groups of stakeholders involved, it was found that there was no clear guidelines in terms of the stak eholders’ role in the EMR projects.This paper attempts to fill in the gap in the existing implementation plan by introducing the pre-implementation framework for the EMR projects.This framework focuses on the role and responsibilities of all the stakeholders that have been identified from the literature. Six stakeholders are involved in the EMR projects:- 1) the Government, 2)the healthcare organization, 3) the IT personnel, 4) the end-users, 5) the healthcare application developer, and 6) the suppliers. The pre-implementation framework for the ERM project was constructed by using the Activity Diagram with the Unified Modeling Language (UML) notation to show the clear roles of all stakeholders. This paper also describes four elements involved in the pre-implementation framework:- 1)Preparation of the Stakeholder , 2) Hardware Preparation, 3) Preparation of the Developer, and 4) Software Preparation. It is hoped that the pre-implementation framework proposed in this paper could be used as a guideline to implement the EMR system.
