Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health
Electronic Health Records: Discussion
Dr. Brendan Murphy:
It is not simple, even on the four sites of the maternity hospitals or St. James's Hospital. Changing to an electronic health record has been one of the biggest changes in my professional working life because it impacts on each and every way we work throughout the healthcare team. It comes with vast advantages and improvements but a heavy investment in time, resources and training to ensure it is done carefully and continued and optimised even after the solution goes in. The solution is a combination of people and process, as well as the technology.
