Electronic Health Record

Hello everyone,

After consulting Pieter, we decided to shift the focus of my master thesis from the selection process of Hospital Information Systems (HIS) to the selection process of Electronic Health Records (Elektronisch PatiĆ«nten Dossier (EPD) in Dutch). We believe that the selection of Electronic Health Records (EHR) is very actual these days and that the field of EHR is more manageable than the field of HIS.

Pieter suggested that I should make more use of my Blog to spread my ideas, even when they are weird, strange or completely wrong. I hope all of you will leave comments on those ideas (in Dutch or English) so I can take those comments into account.

One of those ideas is that we think that the number of required features for an EHR are rather limited, but very powerful. All these basic features are probably present in the current EHR systems so therefore the selection between different EHR systems is not that important. If this is the case we could minimize or even completely eliminate the, often time-consuming and costly, selection process and impose a single EPD system that every hospitals should use in The Netherlands. This would have a huge impact on this market.
