Development, implementation and diffusion of EHR systems in Denmark.

The Danish EHR-Observatory has monitored Danish EHR projects for several years with respect to a number of parameters such as diffusion, diffusion rate, barriers and limitations, and experience gained. The results of the 2002 monitoring reveal that investment in IT is relatively low and the diffusion rate is below the estimated level. The EHR projects gain a lot of valuable experience, but the coordination of evaluation results should be improved.

Modelling and implementing electronic health records in Denmark.

The Danish Health IT strategy [Danish Ministry of Interior and Health, National Strategy for IT in the Health Sector 2003-2007, Copenhagen, 2003 (in Danish). http://www.im.dk/publikationer/itstrategi/itstrategi.pdf. notes that integration between electronic health records (EHR) systems has a high priority. A prerequisite for real integration and semantic interoperability is agreement of the data content and the information models. The National Board of Health is working on a common model for EHR, and its adoption is now being promoted through pilot projects. At the same time, several development and implementation projects are taking place at a regional level. These EHRs are built on information models from different vendors and are based on different integration platforms. The Danish EHR observatory, which has been monitoring the development of EHRs in Denmark since 1998, has analysed the challenges of using different information models and integration platforms. This paper also maps the development in Denmark to the new paradigms in modelling techniques and integration technology.

Modelling and implementing electronic health records in Denmark.

The Danish Health IT strategy [1] points out that integration between electronic health records (EHR) systems has a high priority. A prerequisite for real integration and semantic interoperability is agreement of the data content and the information models. The National Board of Health is working on a common model for EHR, but it is not yet fully developed. At the same time several development and implementation projects are taking place at a regional level. These EHRs are built on information models from different vendors and are based on different integration platforms. The Danish EHR observatory, which has been monitoring the development of EHRs in Denmark since 1998, have analysed the challenges of using different information models and integration platforms. This paper also reports new tendencies in modelling and integration platforms globally and how this is reflected in the National development.

A comparative study of EPR projects in Denmark.

The EPR-Observatory--a public funded project organization--has monitored Danish EPR-projects with respect to various parameters such as diffusion and diffusion rate, barriers and limitations, experience gained. Furthermore, the Observatory has aggregated and disseminated the results and has established a constructive dialogue between the Danish EPR projects. The Observatory has also focused in the later years on analysis of common frames of reference for EPR systems. The National Board of Health and some of the larger counties have developed such frames. First generation systems have been implemented in a few counties with moderate coverage, but a number of projects developing second generation systems are making progress, and the market situation is quickly maturing. There are still, however, major problems in the practical implementation of the systems.
