Select Committee on the Future of Healthcare
Future of Health Care: eHealth Ireland
9:00 am
Mr. Richard Corbridge:
The last question was around the separation of IT and data. What we have put in place over the past 18 months is what we call the eHealth Ireland design authority. This will be a function that has the final say on solutions that are deployed throughout the system to make sure the data models integrate and interact across the whole Irish health care system. We have a data dictionary in place which captures all of the single data models and allows different systems to reference that. We have put a lot of effort and work into trying to make sure our single data model can move forward.
