The current deficits in our digital infrastructure are significant, with inefficient and outdated information technology (IT) systems and hardware.
The continued absence of electronic health records (EHRs) also negatively impacts patient care, staff morale, and productivity.
With the majority of Irish hospital records still paper-based, there is an urgent need to fund a national EHR hospital-wide system without delay.
A fit-for-purpose digital health system for Ireland is essential to provide health staff with the necessary digital tools to optimise efficiency, collaboration, and productivity in a more modern health service. With these tools, consultants will be able to deliver improved accessibility, more efficient workflows, and most importantly enhanced patient care and safety.
