Diraya, A Region-Wide Integrated Information and <strong>Health</strong>care Management Support System<br />
José Luis Rocha Castilla, Secretary General for Quality and Modernisation, Regional Ministry <strong>of</strong> <strong>Health</strong> <strong>of</strong> Andalusia,<br />
Spain<br />
Diraya is the electronic healthcare management and information system <strong>of</strong> the Andalusian Public <strong>Health</strong> System (APHS). APHS is<br />
the healthcare and public health services provider in Andalusia (Spain), a region with 8.5 million inhabitants. Since the 90’s, the<br />
APHS has incorporated the use <strong>of</strong> information technologies into healthcare services, starting at primary care, and integrating other<br />
settings <strong>of</strong> care: emergency services, outpatient, inpatient, and pharmacies. Continuity <strong>of</strong> care is stressed throughout the healthcare<br />
system. Today, the electronic health record covers 100% <strong>of</strong> the population at primary care level. Come and learn more about Diraya<br />
– a leading best practice example in Europe.<br />
MedCom E-Record<br />
Jens Rahbek Nørgaard, Senior Consultant, MedCom, Danish <strong>Health</strong>care Network, Denmark<br />
Denmark has managed to build a national <strong>Health</strong> Record System: “E-Record” (Danish: E-Journal). Today 80% <strong>of</strong> the population is<br />
represented in the system. Both health pr<strong>of</strong>essionals at hospitals, GPs and all citizens have access to this information. All health<br />
record information is delivered from EHR-systems or other clinical Hospital Information Systems. Every GP-clinic and clinical<br />
workstation <strong>of</strong> hospitals can access the E-Record system by contextual links.<br />
The benefits <strong>of</strong> the E-Record are: Patient Empowerment, easy access to information from other hospitals and a higher level <strong>of</strong><br />
patients safety. E-Record is planned to contain information from GPs in <strong>2012</strong> and will be a part <strong>of</strong> an upcoming National <strong>Health</strong><br />
record.<br />
Assembling National Exchange <strong>of</strong> <strong>Health</strong> Information in Slovakia Using epSOS Experience<br />
Peter Kazik, Director General, Informatics Department, Ministry <strong>of</strong> <strong>Health</strong>, Slovak Republic<br />
Michal Danilak, <strong>e<strong>Health</strong></strong> Senior Consultant, Slovak Republic<br />
Based on a traditional organisational structure <strong>of</strong> health care providers, the <strong>e<strong>Health</strong></strong> systems in Slovakia were from the very beginning<br />
built basically on local and in some cases also on a regional level resulting in lack <strong>of</strong> interoperability on a national level.<br />
<strong>e<strong>Health</strong></strong> systems in Slovakia contain plenty <strong>of</strong> communication standards to be used. Our experience from the epSOS project is<br />
choosing to work with International communication standards for health information exchange. The epSOS international pr<strong>of</strong>ile <strong>of</strong><br />
communication standards could be also slightly modified on the national level, thus securing international interoperability <strong>of</strong> national<br />
<strong>e<strong>Health</strong></strong> systems using the national connector on one hand and learning from the epSOS piloting experience on the other hand.<br />
