The main strategies a long journey IT-political Action Plan National strategy for IT at Hospital level National strategy for digitalization in the health care sector Making ehealth Work - National Strategy for Digitalization of the Danish Healthcare Sector 1995 1996 2000 2003 2004 2006 2008 2009 2012 2013 Action Plan for Electronic Patient Record National IT-strategy for the health care sector National strategy for telemedicine
Prerequisites for ehealth in Denmark An IT-ready population: Broadband penetration is the among the highest in Europe - 95% of the population have internet access. A unique personal identifier is issued to all Danish citizens at birth and a digital signature is widely used National Health Databases maintained for more than 30 years Law revisions in recent years have established a broader access to personal health data for medical staff liberal use of data BIG DATA
Prerequisites for ehealth in Denmark National Service Platform Business support Shared Medication Record Consent Vaccinations etc. Registry support Danish Civil Registration System (civil personal registration number ) Registry of General Practitioners Authorized health personal etc.
Prerequisites for ehealth in Denmark General platform services National Health Organization Registry General Practitioners Specialist outside the hospitals Hospitals Municipality health institutions Common standards, classification and terminology (accepted and used) ICD10 Radiology Lab-codes Snomed etc.
Prerequisites for ehealth in Denmark But local independence is accepted Legacy of many systems - different levels of maturity No one system-strategy interoperability has been (and is) the key, not uniformity differences in the local systems is accepted in
The focus areas Electronic Health records At GP level and specialist outside the hospitals In hospitals Communication between GP Hospitals Pharmacies Municipalities

Activity aims towards year 2020 Number of patients treated outside the hospitals increases Out patient treatment up with 50 percent Number of beds down with 20 percent Bed days down from approx. 5 days to approx. 3 days
New Digitalization Strategy 2013-2017 HIS is key to efficient, coordinated, reliable and equal health services: 1. Focus on use of HIS - benefit realisation - no paper journals 2. Connected care: Cross sector cooperation and better use of data 3. Patient empowerment - treatment at home and patient-centred data 4. Transparency on progress/commitment - Business case-driven strategy - pragmatic case by case
Treatment at home and patient empowerment Large potential in involving patients and relatives in own treatment, care, rehabilitation and prevention. Collecting and use of data at home Building national infra structure for data up take of new solutions Logistics and ownership related to devices and data Presentation and sharing of data end-to-end New ways of organising tasks and responsabilities > how?
Ulcer treatment a good example Now: Patients with leg and foot ulcers due to diabetes, obesity and cardiac problems are treated by a specialized doctor in a hospital. Daily care is provided by home nurse (municipality) in patients own home. Patients travel to see doctor in hospital. After national implementation in 2017: The nurse photographs the ulcer with her cell phone and mails the image to the doctor, who prescribes new treatment or new medication. Communication between nurse and doctor is based on a shared web based patient record. The patients will travel to the hospital less frequently.
Communicating with Citizens Sundhed.dk - the official Danish ehealth Portal for public healthcare services. Citizens have access to personal health data such as: Info on prescription medicine Selected information from Electronic Health Records Organ Donor Registration Citizens can participate: Building My dairy with data and stories shared national platform

Some real choices and dilemmas We have a history of collecting and sharing data on patients and treatment that are second to none internationally. In a new area of intelligent health what does it take to keep that position? We base our infrastructure on international standards We want to make full use of data between sectors this puts high demands on shared definitions and standards both when it comes to local systems, local work processes, competences etc. We want to cooperate internationally. We are too small to do it our selves we need broad mandate, speed to compete and a pull also from the industry
The data collection for other purpose than treatment The target: Easy and equal access to all data recorded in the Danish health sector (including written medical records, etc.).
