Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health

Electronic Health Records: Discussion

Mr. Fran Thompson:

There will always be new systems and things that will need the IHI. The rationale for rolling it into the patient administration system in hospitals is that those systems are the front door to a hospital and spread those data to other systems from there. All the other clinical systems would then have the IHI as well. Our goal this year is to establish the IHI as the primary utilisation. I am aware that one of the asks in the health information Bill is that the IHI and personal public service number, PPSN, be utilised. Due to the way we have configured the solution, we can make that swap very simply.
