This is mostly a local thing (for now) and most local papers in Norway paywall basically everything. Anyway, it’s even worse than a cumbersome software. It’s part of a digitalization process of Norwegian healthcare. You would think that since we basically have one provider, the state, they would go for one unified platform? Think again! Norwegian healthcare is split up into 4 health corporations which are kinda sorta like private corporations. Each one of them have run separate processes to acquire a platform of their own. One chose Epic and the others chose another provider. So quadruple the work to choose and implement the new digital and unified journal and probably some extra on top to integrate the different providers. The icing on the cake is that the local municipalities also have health services and were expected to use the same platform as the local health corporations, but many of them are getting cold feet now, so who knows what will happen. The joys of neoliberalism I guess.
