MedNET aims to establish a collaborative
framework with counterparts in Latin America to promulgate access
in underserved regions of Latin America to efficient, cost effective,
high level and high quality medical resources.
The proposed healthcare database and medical platform will directly
impact on patient safety by enhancing clinical services and improving
the primary healthcare in the pilot locations. This will be achieved
through advanced diagnosis and treatment methods, efficient collection
and sharing of data on treatment outcomes and patient demographics
and collaborative medical research.
This system effectively embeds European medical protocol and standards
for medical information exchange, storing and representation and,
given the fledgling nature of electronic Health Records in the targeted
regions, will support diffusion in the wider up-take of electronic
European standards.
