About time….loooong overdue.
Ireland has a Digital Health Strategy, but currently no centralised electronic health record system is in place.
The system allows 24-hour access by doctors and patients to their health information using a secure, free, open-source non-commercial platform.
It has been piloted by the HSE and is currently operational for around 15,000 patients, including Ukrainian refugees, International Protection Applicants, the homeless, the Roman Community and others.
It envisages that doctors will be able to access them in real time, from any location, reducing duplication of tests and making the system more efficient and safer.
