National Paediatric Hospital Development Board: Financial Statements 2018

9:00 am

Mr. Jim Breslin:

This is instead of doing a big bang. There was an option at one stage of purchasing a single electronic health record, EHR, for the whole country. The children's hospital, as we all know, has many unique features. Children's Health Ireland will procure an EHR for the children's hospital but we will build linkages to the national project and how that gets rolled out so that there is compatibility. For example, the individual identifiers will be the same and they will use the same standards and so on, but the purchase and deployment will be separate from the children's hospital deployment.
