Okay, well Ireland has similar vaccination rates, broader childhood vaccination coverage, and no central medical records at all, so while e-boks may assist administration, it's certainly not necessary.

- closewith 9mo agoI'm a proponent of EHRs but not necessarily of centralised medical records, which have not been shown to improve outcomes and which do impose serious privacy risks on patients. HealthLink is a messaging system and stores no EHRs at all. eHealth is the National EHR programme aiming to roll out EHRs by 2030 nationwide. It will be a no-opt-out centralised EHR and combined social care record.

This is bad (from my perspective, as someone who's moved a lot and thus has medical records scattered all over). > It will be a no-opt-out centralised EHR and combined social care record. This is probably the right approach, even though I'm sceptical that it will be delivered effectively.
