“…The answers were collated and published (Rigby, Kühne, Greenfield, Majeed, & Blair, 2018), and the key finding is shown in Figure 14.1. They correlate well with the findings of a slight earlier study by Grossman et al (2016) for a smaller number of countries and using a different data gathering network.…”

Issues and Opportunities in Primary Health Care for Children in Europe

Information and communication technologies can transform how services can be and are delivered as has already happened in other arenas, such as civil aviation, financial services and retailing. Most modern health care is heavily dependent on e-health, including record keeping, targeted information sharing and digital diagnostic and imaging techniques. However, there remains little scientific knowledge base for optimal system content and function in primary health care, particularly for children. Models of Child Health Appraised (MOCHA) aimed to establish the current e-health situation in children's primary care services. Electronic health records (EHRs) are in regular use in much of northern and western Europe and in some newer European Union Member States, but other countries lag behind. MOCHA investigated the use of unique identifiers, the use of case-based public health EHRs and the capability of record linkage, linkage of information with school health data and monitoring of social media influences, such as health websites and health apps. A widespread lack of standards underlined a lack of research enquiry into this issue in terms of children's health data and health knowledge. Health websites and apps are a growing area of healthcare delivery, but there is a worrying lack of safeguards in place. The challenge for policy-makers and practitioners is to be aware and to lead on the innovative harnessing of new technologies, while protecting child users against new harms.

“…In Canada, the National Physician Survey reported that 63.8% of primary care practitioners use EHRs, 25 but without specifying the features of these systems. A survey of primary care physicians and pediatricians in 10 European countries reported a huge variation in the reported rate, where it ranged from 7% to 97% 4 …”

“…It is claimed that it can enhance the quality of patient care, 1 improve the coordination of medical care, 2 reduce medical errors, 3 and increase compliance with guidelines. 4 Primary healthcare settings are a critical part of healthcare, 5 and efforts are increasing to maximize the adoption of EHRs in these settings, 6 since they are patients' first point of contact with the healthcare system and play a key role in disease prevention and treatment. 2 The use of EHRs in primary care settings has many advantages, including improved documentation, generating automatic reminders, computerizing order entry, enhancing scheduling, and providing clinical tools and calculators.…”

Little is known about the adoption rate of electronic health records in primary healthcare settings. This study aimed to estimate this adoption rate in Jordan, using a national survey with a descriptive cross-sectional design. The first step was to review the annual report of the Jordanian Ministry of Health as a basis for identifying the sample, which are primary healthcare settings. Then, Electronic Health Solutions, the company that vends electronic health record systems in Jordan, was used to determine which primary healthcare settings were using these electronic record systems. The final task was to determine which functionalities of the system were being used in these settings, and for this, a telephone survey of key personnel was conducted. It was found that 21.6% of the primary healthcare settings were using electronic health records, while the other 78.4% were still relying on paper records. The results also showed that the adoption rate of electronic health records was significantly associated with the type of the setting (P < .001), its size (P < .001), location (P < .001), and region (P = .04). As a conclusion, the adoption rate in Jordan is still in its infancy compared with those in developed countries. Policy and decision makers should therefore be focused on minimizing any challenges or obstacles to such adoption.

“…Otro estudio, llevado a cabo en Europa por Z. Grossman y col., 6 reportó grados de adopción de la HCE muy variables por parte de los pediatras de atención primaria, dependiendo del país. El trabajo reveló países con altos porcentajes de adopción de la HCE de hasta el 97 % en contraposición con otros que registraban solo el 7 %.…”

y comunicación (TIC) por parte de los pediatras. Objetivos: Estimar la prevalencia de uso de historia clínica electrónica (HCE) y de mensajería electrónica. Describir percepción de ventajas y desventajas. Población y métodos: Estudio observacional, exploratorio, descriptivo y transversal. Se envió una encuesta autoadministrada al padrón de socios de la Sociedad Argentina de Pediatría entre julio y septiembre de 2017. Resultados: De 14 604 socios, se recibieron 3468 respuestas (el 23,7 %); 2680 fueron completas (el 18,4 %). El porcentaje de uso de HCE fue del 44 %. Se destacaron ventajas: acceso a la información (el 23,2 %), agilización del trabajo (el 20,1 %), resguardo seguro de información (el 14,3 %), disponibilidad (el 11,9 %), cálculo de percentiles (el 11,1 %) y realización de estadísticas (el 9,2 %). Las desventajas percibidas fueron cuestiones técnicas (el 32 %), temor a pérdida de información (el 20 %), dudas sobre cuestiones legales (el 15,8 %). El 49,8 % consideró implementar el uso de HCE en el próximo año. El 76,9 % usaba aplicaciones para recibir consultas de sus pacientes. El WhatsApp (el 46,6 %) fue la plataforma más utilizada. El 74 % consideraba que las consultas no presenciales deberían ser remuneradas. Conclusión: El 44 % de los pediatras que respondieron utilizaba HCE. El 49,8 % consideró implementar algún sistema de HCE durante el año siguiente al estudio. La mensajería electrónica era ampliamente utilizada (el 76,9 %) en todos los rangos etarios. Palabras clave: informática médica, mensaje de texto, historia clínica electrónica, encuestas y cuestionarios, tecnología.
