The Irish Adoption Site is a joint partnership initiative between the Department of Health (DoH) and the Health Service Executive (HSE). The launch of the government ‘Digital for Care – A Digital Health Framework for Ireland 2024- 2030’, in conjunction with the HSEs ‘Digital Health Strategic Implementation Roadmap’, sets out joint aims and action plans, to digitally transform the Irish health system to use digital technology to improve health services and make them more accessible.
To ensure a seamless and secure delivery, the implementation roadmap is driven by six core principles, (Patient as an Empowered Partner, Workforce & Workplace, Digitally Enabled and Connected Care, Data Driven Services, Digital Health Ecosystem & Innovation, Secure Foundations & Digital Enablers).
Ireland is developing a national shared care record and enhancing our national Health App to enable the sharing of standardised, interoperable digital health records.
The yellow button smart link should have the ability to exchange / send patient summary information from one mobile device to a second mobile device – similar to functionality of the share button in WhatsApp or Airdrop on iOS. In addition, the yellow button should facilitate the sharing of health data via web portal.
Ireland is developing a national shared care record, and associated architecture, for patient summary data, and our priority is to enable the exchange of health data for NCP A Patient Services, adhering to EHDS regulations. We plan to integrate xShare smart links into this service to enable the sharing of patient summary information!
Development of the national shared care record is paramount to the provision and sharing of patient summary records. The IE xShare team integrate with the national shared care records team to ensure requirements and developments meet EHDS requirements and integrate with xShare.
