The Language of EPRs and Interoperability
The session will examine the widely used EPR and interoperability terms (such as “integration”, “interfacing”, “interoperate”, “interoperability standards”, “best of breed”), how they are used and at times inadvertently mis-used leading to misconceptions at central policy and local business case/implementation levels. The session will present the latest findings in a study into EPR systems in acute hospitals in England: which hospitals adopt best of breed v integrated v in-house EPRs and how these EPR types are associated with decision-support capabilities, depth of functionality and hospital financial health.
