Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health

National Children's Hospital: Discussion

Ms Eilísh Hardiman:

That is one of the assessments that is being undertaken at the moment around the implementation of the electronic healthcare record - how would these work, and how can systems talk to each other, particularly to send information, thus ensuring clinicians in Cork, quite rightly, can access and read the data on their child patient when he or she is in Dublin? That has all been identified as one of the outcomes that is required of digitising the health system.
