“All primary care doctors in Denmark use electronic medical records and 98 percent have the ability to electronically manage patient care. This has put the small country at the forefront of effective information technology use, according to a new report released by the Commonwealth Fund.
According to authors of the report, Denis Protti, a professor of health informatics at the University of Victoria and a visiting chair of health informatics at City University London, and Ib Johansen, deputy manager and consultant at the Danish Centre for Health Telematics, much can be learned from the Danish system, where health IT use among primary care doctors soared from 15 percent in the early 1990s to more than 90 percent by the year 2000.”
