Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health

National Children's Hospital: Discussion

Ms Eilísh Hardiman:

Correct. Progress was being made on a national electronic healthcare records plan. One of the issues that needs to be worked through, and which we will seek when the vendor is selected within CHI, is for the system to interface with any other systems that are going to be put in place. To be clear, and we must be clear with our vendors, we are not going to procure a system that can be extended out. We are procuring a system that is clearly to meet the services that CHI is accountable for. We expect that this system would need to be able to interface with other systems and to import information from paper-based and from electronic formats so we get that national, integrated way of working for the children that are being transferred.
