Quoted in Ingeniøren
Last week I was quoted in Ingeniøren – a magazine sent to all 60,000 members of the Society of Danish Engineers (IDA). The article was in line with my comments in Computerworld (cf. below), but journalist, Henning Mølsted also included some very interesting comments from the chairman of the county council in Viborg, Bent Hansen. Here are some of my comments (in Danish):
»Der er milliarder at spare, hvis man kan koordinere it-arkitekturen for de elektroniske patientjournalsystemer bedre,«»Arkitekturprincipperne er kun første skridt i en lang proces mod egentlige it-standarder. Det er endnu ikke udpeget, hvor sygehusene skal hen med deres EPJ-systemer, og hvad patienterne kan forvente af digitaliseringen,«
Also: »Amtsrådsforeningens regler mangler ifølge Kristian Hjort-Madsen målbare mål, som kan komme patienterne eller sundhedspersonalet til gavn. De kunne f.eks. gælde, hvor meget digitalisering skal luge ud i de omfattende medicineringsfejl på sygehusene, bedre udnyttelse af hospitalsudstyret eller antallet af dage, som udvalgte behandlinger, f.eks. en hofteoperation, må vare. Desuden peger han på, at standarderne endnu ikke lø-ser problemerne med at udveksle digitale patientdata mellem de digtale journaler på tværs af sygehusene.«
I am very happy that my public appearance has stimulated the EA dialogue in the health sector. The debate was continued in Computerworld last week (with Arne Kverneland) and I think that both Ingeniøren and Computerworld will continue the discussion.
