NetCARE is Canada’s first region-wide electronic health record (EHR) (Hospital News 2004). It is a clinical, web-based, view-only record of an individual’s key health information drawn from multiple sources. NetCARE is available in both hospital and community settings and is accessed by a variety of clinical users. A systematic evaluation showed that an average of 88% of respondents agreed or strongly agreed that netCARE provided valuable lab test results, event history, diagnostic imaging and transcribed reports. Seventy-six per cent indicated that it helped provide quality patient care, and 82% felt it integrated easily into their clinical workflow.

“Het ministerie van VWS kan zich totaal niet vinden de kritiek dat het landelijke EPD slecht beveiligd is. Het onderzoek zou slecht onderbouwd zijn en verkeerde conclusies trekken.
De studie van UvA-onderzoeker Guido van ‘t Noordende over de beveiligingsarchitectuur van het EPD bevat geen nieuwe inzichten en legt geen nieuwe problemen bloot. Dat schrijft het ministerie van Volksgezondheid, Welzijn en Sport (VWS) in reactie op de toegang tot elektronische patientendossiers via het Landelijk Schakelpunt (LSP) slecht beveiligd is.”

“De samenleving wordt gedomineerd door angst als motief om dingen te doen of te laten, zeker na 9/11 is dit dominant in het veiligheidsdoen en – denken. Annex is er in toenemende mate een “mortaliteits-cultuur”, waarbij de lengte van het leven maatstaf is en minder de gezondheid door het leven heen. Dat heeft betekenis voor de verdeling van zorg-geld.
