Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health
National Children's Hospital: Discussion
Ms Eilísh Hardiman:
Yes. The new system that we will have will be better than what we have at the moment. We noticed that children have files in the three children's hospitals so one ends up ringing a colleague to get information or get it transferred. The new system will be better for the professionals who deliver healthcare. It means they can look up the record of what has happened in the other hospital. They can just see it, which is very important. As much as possible, we are putting the information on the SIM system so everybody else can see the information.
