Electronic Health Records Research in a Health Sector Environment with Multiple Provider Types

Samantha S. R. Crossfield, Susan E. Clamp

2013

Abstract

Where healthcare provision is divided into provider types, such as child health and palliative care, it is difficult for researchers to access comprehensive healthcare data. Integrated electronic health records offer an opportunity for cross-provider type care research. In this paper a new model for accessing such data is justified using the critical success factors as determined from an established research data provider. This validates a model that will enhance integrated health research for the benefit of clinical practice across multiple provider types.
