The Health Service Executive (HSE) in Ireland has been given the go-ahead by government to create a shortlist of electronic patient record (EPR) suppliers to create a national health record.
The plan to create a national, digital health record is one of the flagship initiatives in the Irish government's Programme for Government and the HSE's Sláintecare – the plan for reforming Ireland’s health and social care system.
The aim is to deliver a secure integrated digital health record for all patients in the country, ensuring information across health settings.
The national EPR programme is the largest digital transformation project in the history of the HSE, and will cover hospitals, GP and community records all in one place.
It will also give patients access to their own health information.
