Target
Groups Objectives
|
The PPI-ePR has basically achieved the objectives. Hospital Authority had commissioned HK Medical Association to conduct an IT survey. From the feedback obtained, over 6,600 patients registered and 88% of the respondents interested in joining PPI-ePR.
To bring out initiatives to the next level, Hospital Authority would like to extend the pilot to two years Interim evaluation in March 2007. Moreover, to explore the use of SmarID card for patient registration and access is a further step to promote PPI-ePR. Extend the service to SCHSA on a cost-recovery basis. For sure, to pilot to more private hospitals and more private practitioners are the ultimate goal.
