SummaryTo identify current challenges and developments in health information systems.Reports on HIS, eHealth and process support were analyzed, core problems and challenges were identified.Health information systems are extending their scope towards regional networks and health IT infrastructures. Integration, interoperability and interaction design are still today’s core problems. Additional problems arise through the integration of genetic information into the health care process. There are noticeable trends towards solutions for these problems.

Summary Objectives: Hospital information systems are evolving towards health information systems. This article aims at identifying both proven benefits and critical issues, and at discussing problems and possible solutions. Methods: Reports on HIS successes and failures were analyzed, and core challenges were identified. These challenges are discussed against state of the art solutions. Results: In spite of demonstrated benefits, there are more severe problems than reports on successes suggest. Among today’s core problems are integration, human-computer interaction, socio-technical issues, and support of processes. Conclusions: Significant efforts of all parties involved in the health care process are needed to improve, implement, and evaluate the concepts described.

Privacy And Confidentiality

As electronic patient health information systems become more fully developed and widespread, there are persistent concerns about the privacy and confidentiality of the personal health data being stored and disseminated. Standards Australia has released two Standards which provide useful guidelines for the organisational, technological and human behaviour solutions required to protect privacy and confidentiality in health care organisations. The major requirements of these Standards are outlined and the implications of the Standards for health information managers are discussed.
