Tieto and Intersystem Create Swedish National Electronic Health Record

InterSystems has announced the initial stage of the Swedish National Patient Summary project. The first Electronic Health

Record for Sweden has been launched, which is a vital part of the implementation programme of the National IT Strategy for the healthcare and welfare sector in Sweden.

 

The project aims to improve patient security and quality of care nationwide. It will extend up to 500 users in the first phase of the solution across Örebro – including healthcare practitioners and two private nursing homes. Furthermore, it will implement the EN13606 patient record international industry standard, and will include the ability to transform records from local formats to the central standard making it easy for existing systems to connect to the National Patient Summary.
