Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health: Electronic Health Records: Discussion (25 Jan 2023)

Cathal Crowe: I thank the witnesses for attending this morning. Is it not an awful indictment that there is more known about each one of our cars through the national car test database than there is about our public health? If I look up 141 CE 122, which is the registration number of my Honda car, I can see that much more is known about the wear and tear on the front right tyre and the wishbone joint than...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health: Electronic Health Records: Discussion (25 Jan 2023)

Cathal Crowe: I ask Dr. Murphy to answer the question. What paper system is there if someone from Galway moves down to Clare and then on to Wexford? What travels with a patient around the country?

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health: Electronic Health Records: Discussion (25 Jan 2023)

Cathal Crowe: I know what is intended but what is there at the moment? I really need to get an answer on this. Is there anything being forwarded at all?

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health: Electronic Health Records: Discussion (25 Jan 2023)

Cathal Crowe: We heard that. What is there at the moment for a guy or girl who comes into accident and emergency with something chronic and painful? Let us say they need treatment there and then, and they are admitted. What follows them from a hospital they have already been in?

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health: Electronic Health Records: Discussion (25 Jan 2023)

Cathal Crowe: We have half the speaking time. Is there any uniformity whatsoever? Is there any paper record that will travel with Joe or Jill Bloggs as they go through one hospital system to another? Is there any uniformity?

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health: Electronic Health Records: Discussion (25 Jan 2023)

Cathal Crowe: Okay. We got to that eventually. Is there not a huge risk in that? I was in accident and emergency a few years ago with a concussion on the back of my head and the first 40 minutes or so were spent in triage. It was all questions about date of birth, PPS number and all of those things. If someone is coming in concussed or bleeding heavily from an injury, those initial moments should be...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health: Electronic Health Records: Discussion (25 Jan 2023)

Cathal Crowe: If doing this internally - having an Irish system for an Irish problem - is taking so much time, why can we not go internationally? I hope this is not a clumsy analogy but I am on the transport committee and the Irish Aviation Authority, IAA, is believed to have systems so far advanced internationally that it is now able to contract them out to other countries. Surely the NHS or other...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health: Electronic Health Records: Discussion (25 Jan 2023)

Cathal Crowe: Has the HSE asked any international partners whether they can help to deliver this in full or in part?

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health: Electronic Health Records: Discussion (25 Jan 2023)

Cathal Crowe: In advance of having this system, whenever it comes, has the HSE given any advice, circulars or guidance to practitioners around the country on the need to get to a point of alignment? It seems there is none at the moment.

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health: Electronic Health Records: Discussion (25 Jan 2023)

Cathal Crowe: Between now and then, should there be information officers at accident and emergency departments so that we are not tying up a clinical nurse with clipboards trying to find out who you are, where you are from and what your PPS number is?

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health: Electronic Health Records: Discussion (25 Jan 2023)

Cathal Crowe: As a final point, sometimes opportunities pass people by. There were two really quickly delivered protocols here in the last two years. One was the digital Covid certificates. I was going to say we all had them on our phones but some people bought in and some did not. However, most people were embracing vaccines, the technology that went into the certification, etc, and people adapted...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health: Electronic Health Records: Discussion (25 Jan 2023)

Cathal Crowe: Okay. Until our guests get to a standardised e-platform nationally would they not, as the information team at the HSE, communicate with each hospital group and tell them to stop operating as silos? Would they not say that at least until we get to point X, we will operate on some standardised record-keeping system? If the team is focused in the long term on e-health, it is not dealing with...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health: Electronic Health Records: Discussion (25 Jan 2023)

Cathal Crowe: My question was about non-electronic health records. The records are not yet online. At least the paper records should be standardised. Mr. Thompson said five minutes ago there is no uniformity. Surely the first thing to do would be to get some uniformity while continuing with the long-term plan for electronic health records. Those going into emergency departments today would like to...
