Linking Systems to Strategy Tuesday 30th September 2008Clinical Education Centre, Auckland City Hospital
Programme Update: 26 September 2008: Please read this attendee briefing (pdf) before attending this event.At our last seminar “Let’s Set the Record Straight” we looked at some of the better EHR/EMR Systems internationally, primarily to convince ourselves that the benefit of having providers share information is worth the enormous effort required to do so. We were all convinced of that. A straw poll of 130 attendees unanimously agreed that getting a shared record strategy was a very important priority for the sector. In this our second seminar (in a planned series of four) we hope to really understand the needs of the sector so that we can start to evaluate the current approaches and possibly generate new ones to look at. A key issue is that at present there are at least three well supported views as to how a patient's electronic record should be implemented/managed/accessed. This is creating a gridlock effect because they are generally opposing viewpoints. For example, one of the current approaches is to "hub" patient records in regional systems built on DHBs' current systems, another is based upon primary-care held records which allow interested parties to request access to the information they need. Each of the "candidate approaches" has drawbacks; a repository raises privacy concerns, a GP-based system raises potential integrity and availability issues, etc. In this seminar we will use the morning's presentations to enable attendees to get a better feel for the strategy they are designing the EHR system to support; The afternoon’s programme will allow a number of sector IT leaders to respond to the morning’s speakers and to share their views as to the potential EHR approaches that could be taken. The key thing we are trying to do is gain an understanding of the needs of the sector. This involves developing a collective appreciation of the workings of the healthcare system in the medium - long term (5-25 years) so that we can design the EHR system that will best support this Morning Programme 8.45 am Coffee and Registration 9.00 am Introduction 9.05 am Deborah Roche Deputy Director-General, Health and Disability Systems Strategy 9.40 am Prof Murray Tilyard, Professor of General Practice Otago University 10.15 am Dr Bev O’Keefe, Chairman, GP Leaders’ Forum 10.55 am Morning Tea 11.20 am Professor Jim Warren Professor of Health Informatics – Auckland University 12.00 Morning Speakers’ Panel 1 pm Lunch Afternoon Programme 1.45 pm Paul Roseman Chief Information Officer Procare Health 2.15 pm Vino Ramayah Executive Chairman, Medtech Global 2.45 pm Chai Chuah CEO Hutt Valley District Health Board 3.15 pm Afternoon Tea 3.45 pm Alan Hesketh Deputy Director-General, Information 4.15 pm Afternoon Speakers’ Panel 5.00pm Wrap-Up/END Terms Electronic Medical Record (EMR) – a record of a patient’s health, healthcare and treatment on a single computer database held by an individual provider organisation eg a patient record within a General Practice’s PMS (practice management system) Personal Health Record (PHR) – a record of a patient’s health, healthcare and treatment usually held by the patient, on a home computer or on a facility provided by Google, Microsoft or other party.
