Evaluation of the Basic EHR model Initiative in the IT strategy 2003-2007 Clinical evaluation 2003-2004: Examine, if Basic EHR can be used to maintain and communicate clinical content, within realistic conditions Expose the organizational condition and consequences 15
Clinical evaluation Test battery Change readiness analyses Assessment of clinical functionality Work flow analyses with video documentation Implementation indicators Analyses of the data stored in the system Usability analyses 16
EHR pilot project: Based on Basic EHR To full scale pilots, with all BEHR functionality implemented: Amager Hospital Aarhus County Four pilots, with a subset of BEHR functionality implemented: Roskilde County Ribe County Ringkoebing County Viborg County 17
Preconditions for the clinical evaluation EHR in daily use for at least 3 months Include minimum 500 patient-days and relevant diagnosis The test staff has been educated sufficiently. Minimum 3 days, maximum 2 weeks. Allocation of necessary post education That the EHR system is based on the Basic HER model 18

Result of the B-EHR evaluation from the 2 full scale prototypes Amager Hospital 90% of the test-set was examined 55% of the tests was approved Aarhus County 100% of the test-set was examined 65% of the test was approved Conclusion for the test The core use cases was implemented and the systems can be used for the clinical evaluation 21
Conclusion: Fundamental for a EHR system Ambitious but realistic EHR EHR system system which which are are able able to to exchange and and reuse reuse data data Implementation guidelines are needed Proces/Information model model National SNOMED CT project January 2005 Terminology system system Focus in the next 5-10 years Clinical Clinical content content 22
