Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health
Electronic Health Records: Discussion
Mr. Fran Thompson:
I will outline the vision that the HSE has. We called out the vision in the opening statement very clearly. We have a vision to provide connected and complete digital patient records across all patient pathways and care settings. We are working to do that. Huge numbers of innovative solutions have been deployed across the totality of the HSE, nationally and locally and down to ward-level. People will have seen the e-prescriptions which enable GPs to utilise our existing technology stack to electronically send prescriptions, saving patients having to walk into hospital. These are being done at scale, massively.
