Lättillgängliga journaler – rättighet med problem? Inlägg i Läkartidningen
Förutom sekretessfrågor måste språk och innehåll diskuteras innan patientjournaler på nätet kan bli verklighet i större skala.

Helen Allvins kandidatuppsats är grunden för en debattartikel som vi fick publicerad i Läkartidningen denna vecka. Enligt patientdatalagen ska läkare skriva journaler så att patienten kan förstå. För att undersöka om patientdatalagen stod i strid med verkligheten undersökte hon dels språket i journaler och gjorde en enkätundersökning bland läkare på Karolinska om attityder till journalskrivande. Det visade sig att läkarna var medvetna om att de skrev så att patienterna inte kunde begripa, men att de trodde effektiviteten och säkerheten i sjukvården skulle minska om de inte fick uttrycka sig med ett medicinskt exakt språk.
Vi satte hennes undersökning i relation till att man nu diskuterar former för att göra den egna journalen tillgänglig via nätet.

Project EnRiMa – site visits in Bilbao and Oviedo
As a part of the EnRiMa FP7 project Naghmeh Aghaee and I, together with project partners from Great Britain and Austria, visited test-sites in Bilbao and Oviedo. The buildings at the test sites will be used for collecting data about energy consumption and energy transfers. In turn, this data will later be the foundation for creating a service-oriented decision support system. Currently the energy consumption and overall state of the software system can be remotely monitored and controlled. Besides the software being used, it was interesting to see how different, from a Swedish perspective, the heating of the buildings where done. In Spain it is quite common to use gas for heating, and the use of geothermal ground heat pumps is not common. During the spring we will start making a draft of the software architecture for the upcoming decision support system. For more information on the EnRiMa project, go to www.enrima-project.eu

The fourth HEXAnord meeting, Trondheim January 10-12, 2011
The fourth HEXAnord meeting took place in Trondheim in January 10-12, 2011, with participants from Lithuania, Finland, Denmark, Sweden and Norway. The three-day meeting included lectures and discussions on annotation, machine learning, medical terminology, natural language processing and other topics related to analysis of clinical text. The HEXAnord group also made a study visit to St. Olavs hospital, visiting two different clinics, Cardiology and Intensive Care Unit as well as the usability lab at The Norwegian EHR Research Centre, NSEP, (Norsk senter for elektroniskpasientjournal). New groups were also formed, aiming at continuing last year’s collaborative research across research groups in different countries.
There was also time for social activities, and the bravest Swedes joined the semi-professional cross-country skiers from Finland and Norway. After dawn, we were all served coffee in the traditional Norwegian way, that is outside, under the stars.
(Participants from DSV were Helen Allvin, Hercules Dalianis, Martin Hassel, Aron Henriksson, Maria Skeppstedt and Sumithra Velupillai.)
