Abstract

The creation of the Pompidou University Hospital [or the Hôpital Européen Georges Pompidou (HEGP), as it is known in French], in southwest Paris, from the merging of three aging facilities presented an opportunity to conceive and deploy COHERENCE, a brand-new component-based clinical information system (CIS). COHERENCE features generic healthcare-related and generic components. The healthcare-related components include the patient healthcare record, the activity, and the resource scheduler components. Major functions of the CIS were operational when the hospital opened in July 2000. The generic components include a reference manager, a security manager, a document manager, a Corba bus, and various mediation and supervision tools. Three years later, the unique patient record and the provider order entry systems are being used in 100 percent of relevant healthcare units. Seventy-four percent of biological orders and 66 percent of imaging orders are being entered directly by physicians. Sharing by physicians and nurses of the common, multimedia lifelong health record, including online availability of images, is being achieved in 100 percent of the units.

Created by merging three hospitals into one, Pompidou University Hospital employs a component-based clinical information system with integrated EHR.
