Political vision • Relevant and personally customized information. • All Danes have an E-box • Digital signature • 720.000 issued since 2003 • Valid 2 years • I have 3 • 20% of Danes (maybe only 5 – 10 %) • Maybe 1-2% use for HI

Danish EHR 2005-2006 • More than 28% of ”Hospital beds” • 50 % of the hospitals has a EHR system • (EHR evaluation report 2005) • 99 % of general practitioner use IT
The regional reform in Denmark 1.1.2007 From 14 counties to 5 regions From 270 to 98 local governments http://www.kl.dk/372656/
Full stop • The Danish health minister (Lars Løkke Rasmussen) make a full stop. • He wants a central control of the EHR implementation • One EHR solution for the healthcare sector • High ambitions • Bad result • Who is to blame?
Danish focus • Diabetes patients • Dermatology • Wound healing topics • E-mail consultation with general practitioner • Medicine profile (sundhed.dk) • Pharmacists • Donor register • One EHR solution
IEEE 2407 vision • Healthcare Information for all by 2015 • Provide a standard of • Consumer tools to stay healthy • Consumer tools to improve health • Improve healthcare information in developing countries
Scientific questions • What do we mean by “All”? • How do we stay healthy? • What improves our health? • How do we communicate with potential consumers of health informatics?
Who do we mean by “All”? • Above 60 years old • Vast population • ~1.2 mill (21%). 1 • Heterogeneous • Income, health, social, mobility. 2 • Gets ill • 42% of all admissions. 3 1: Population statistics January 2006 2: Audun-Olsen, 2001:47 3: Danish statistics, SYG1A and UD1 2004-2006

No smoking 3 days 12 hours 27 minutes Informatics to the test
Literacy level Who can we give tools of health informatics? Example: information on diabetes (thought experiment)
IEEE 2407 working group • Should discuss and define: • Potential and relevant consumers • Level of information complexity • Personalized informatics • Right information • to the right person • at the right time • Usability of distribution technology • Enactment theory
