WQ.494/2019
WRITTEN QUESTION TO THE MINISTER FOR HEALTH AND SOCIAL SERVICES BY DEPUTY C.S. ALVES OF ST. HELIER
ANSWER TO BE TABLED ON TUESDAY 12th NOVEMBER 2019
Question
Will the Minister state when, if at all, a digital system to allow the sharing of patient records between primary care providers and his Department will be put in place?
Answer
A secure digital platform has been established between primary care and Health and Community Services (live in October 2019) to support the sharing of patient records i.e. clinical information between primary care and HCS clinical information platforms.
Digital services that are being actively worked on and being developed between HCS and primary care include:
1. The ability for GPs to digitally request radiology tests and receive corresponding digital reports back
– live clinical pilot started November 2019
2. The ability for GPs to digitally request pathology tests and receive corresponding digital reports back
– clinical pilot to start Q1 2020
3. Integration of HCS diabetes centre provides a single view of the patient record between HCS (diabetes) and GPs and will be delivered during Q1 2020. This arrangement supports HCS's strategic objective of developing a shared patient care record.
Further HCS digital integration activities in support of the new model of care are in the pipeline for development and deployment during 2020-2023. These initiatives form part of our continuing health modernisation & digital programme of works that HCS is committed to deliver.
