HIMSS maturity, with acknowledgement that due to strong analytics and IT governance, there is capability to advance to Level 6/7 HIMSS maturity. The network of EMRs supports the national eHealth portal Sundhed, which enables patients and healthcare professionals to find information and communicate. Sundhed captures information from hospitals and GPs across Denmark to ensure that doctors and GPs have access to patient information in any hospital or clinic. It provides an overview with a range of information such as prescription history, laboratory test results, and data on allergies and adverse reactions. Danish citizens also have access to their records on a read-only basis based on information supplied by EMRs in regions. Workforce productivity benefits include: In primary care, nearly all (98 per cent) use the full clinical functionality of CPOE systems; 90 of all communication in primary care is sent as an electronic data interchange; 92% of hospital capture and evaluate system usage statistics to influence behaviour and system enhancements, with 71% capturing medication safety statistics; 96% of hospitals are entering approximately 90% of their orders electronically through CPOE processes; 100% of hospitals indicate that their imaging departments are fully automated; 92% of hospital capture and evaluate system usage statistics to influence behaviour and system enhancements, with 71% capturing medication safety statistics; 96% of hospitals are entering approximately 90% of their orders electronically through CPOE processes; 100% of hospitals indicate that their imaging departments are fully automated. Example of patient-level benefits: At Odense University Hospital, their investments have resulted in bringing down the time patients with chronic diseases spend in hospital to an average of 2.9 days per patient (compared to the European average of approximately seven days). Readmission rates for chronic disease patients are also down by more than 50%. Kaiser Permanente: Jurisdiction Private healthcare provider Population Size Approx. 9 million subscribers Model Single vendor (Monolithic) EHR across different care settings HIMSS Maturity Stage 6 Funding Largely privately funded by patients Benefits Improved patient management, enhanced information sharing Cost Approximately USD$4billion
