3 HIMSS Analytics Europe HIMSS Analytics Europe (HAE) provides healthcare organisations, governments and industry with extensive data resources and services about the adoption and use of healthcare information technology in Europe. HAE s offerings include comparative Hospital IT adoption benchmarking, a European-formulated EMR Adoption Model (EMRAM) scale, and other resources to help hospital directors, IT executives and clinicians compare and measure their progress and how they compare to others. Country level and application specific reports also provide insights into major IT adoption trends and applications. Core Activities Hospital IT Status Updates EMR Adoption Benchmarking Best Practice Identification The Electronic Medical Record Adoption Model for Europe Understanding the level of electronic medical record (EMR) capabilities in hospitals is a challenge in the European healthcare IT market today. HIMSS Analytics Europe has adapted the EMR Adoption Model (EMRAM) created by HIMSS Analytics and established across the U.S. and Canada. The model identifies the 8 levels (0-7) of EMR capabilities ranging from limited ancillary department systems through a paperless EMR environment. HIMSS Analytics Europe has developed a methodology and algorithms to automatically score hospitals in our database relative to their IT enabled clinical transformation status, to provide peer comparisons for hospital organisations as they strategise their path to a complete EMR and participation in an electronic health record (EHR). The reputable Stage 6 or 7 EMR Adoption Model (EMRAM) Award recognizes European hospitals that represent best practices in implementation of the EMR.
