Shared electronic health and social care records in some service systems are already showing some of the benefits of digital technology and digital data for integrating health and social care. These records are one example of the beginning "digitalisation" of services that gives a glimpse of the potential of digital technology and systems for building coordinated and individualized integrated care. Yet the promise has been greater than the benefits, and progress has been slow compared to other industries. This paper describes for non-technical readers how information technology was used to support integrated care schemes in six EU services, and suggests practical ways forward to use the new opportunities to build person-centered integrated care.
在一些服务系统中,共享的电子健康与社会护理记录已展现出数字技术和数字数据在整合健康与社会护理方面的一些优势。这些记录是服务初步“数字化”的一个例子,让人得以窥见数字技术和系统在构建协调且个性化的综合护理方面的潜力。然而,所带来的成效却不及预期,与其他行业相比,进展也较为缓慢。本文向非专业读者介绍了信息技术如何用于支持欧盟六个服务项目中的综合护理计划,并提出了利用新机遇构建以人为本的综合护理的切实可行方法。
