Jj. Vanoverbeeke et Hp. Westerhof, THE DUTCH BENEFIT-II PROJECT - DO PHYSICIANS BENEFIT FROM USING AN ELECTRONIC MEDICAL DOSSIER, International journal of bio-medical computing, 42(1-2), 1996, pp. 91-96
In 1992 the Dutch College of General Practitioners (NHG) started a pro
ject, which lasted until May 1994. The project had three major objecti
ves: - establishing as exactly as possible what benefits we gain from
using an Electronic Medical Dossier (EMD) can we find an influence on
the quality of care? Which drawbacks or problems are there - advising
on the optimal use of an EMD; What is the best place to record certain
data? - advising the Working Committee on Informatics (WCIA), of Dutc
h National Association of General Practitioners (LHV) and NHG on the d
irections for the new Reference Model 1995. To obtain these goals pane
l discussions and a questionnaire were used. The project resulted in a
dvice on how to use the EMD in the most efficient way. Also we have le
arned about the use of GP-information systems and the perception about
this usage by the Dutch GPs.
