Background:

Healthcare providers in Norway struggle with fragmented medication information due to diverse prescribing sources.
Accessing up-to-date patient drug histories is critical for safe and effective patient care.

Purpose of the Study:

To establish a system for consent-based access to a core electronic health record (EHR).
To improve the speed and reliability of accessing patient medication information for healthcare providers.

Main Methods:

A project was initiated involving major EHR system vendors in Norway.
Funding was secured from national health authorities, Innovation Norway, and municipalities.
Development of a core EHR system designed for patient summary data.

Main Results:

A consent-based access model to a core EHR has been established.
The project facilitates faster access to essential patient medication data.
The core EHR serves as a potential pilot for a national patient summary.

Conclusions:

The developed core EHR system addresses the challenge of accessing updated medication information.
Consent-based access to EHR data enhances healthcare provider efficiency.
This initiative lays the groundwork for a national patient summary system in Norway.
