By the end of the year, patients in Östergötland County in central Sweden will become the first to allow patients access to their medical records online by the end of the year, Daniel Forslund, deputy director of the healthcare division of the Ministry of Health and Social Affairs, said on Monday.
With some 200 000 logins per week, 'My Pages' is the self-service of the Agency's website - www.forsakringskassan.se - that has been adopted the fastest by the users of the site. The information campaign aims to make the service known by even more users, to thus make as many citizens as possible aware of the possibility to manage their own cases.
Speaking at eHealth Insider Live 2010, Daniel Forslund said that the records would be accessed through a new website and technology platform based on the country's 1177 service, which already provides patients with health advice.
These infrastructure services are intended to ensure that the handling of data and the transfer of information between health care providers take place in a consistent and secure manner. They include: the HSA catalogue service - a national address directory of healthcare services providers linking all regional level eCatalogues; SITHS - the secure IT authentication solutions for health care professionals; the secure communication network SJUNET; and the video-and tele-meeting service.
