THALAMUS

THALAMUS is a EUREKA-project with Swedish and Danish partners based on an in depth analysis of present in the health care system regarding patient information: The complexity of acquisition and exchange, journal administration, image administration in regards to digitizing of information and various electronic formats.

At the same time the opportunity for quality and assurance is disabled. The introduction of the electronic patient journal has only resolved a limited part of the mentioned problem where Thalamus aims towards a complete solution with facilities making digitizing of all types of patient information, text, images, sound, film and at the same time integration these, with the possibility for immediate acquisition and transmission.
