Implementation of the Catalan health care Intranet, which will facilitate the exchange of case histories between the different organisations and professionals, and inclusion in the Intranet of the various public and private health care agents

  • Improvement of the quality of communications between the health care agents.
  • Bolstering, updating and extension of the health care Intranet. This must involve:
  • Computerisation of the CAPs with the global case history in mind.
  • Inclusion of the public and private health agents (covering the entire chain of health services): doctors, hospitals/CAPs, insurance companies, pharmacies.
  • Data interchange without a set format, advancing towards WEB-EDI.
  • Implementation of a digital case history that can be personalised (relevant medical records). Objective: the case history of the patient is on the network and is shared and added to by all the agents.
  • Global applications to "health care centres" as pilot tests that can be evaluated.
  • Deployment of infrastructures that ensure the circulation of data with complete security, confidentiality, reliability and speed.
