Helse Midt-Norge further postpones introduction of the Health Platform – news Trøndelag

This applies to the hospitals in Helse Nord-Trøndelag and Helse Møre og Romsdal. The estimated date for Levanger and Namsos Hospitals is 4 November, while the hospitals in Møre and Romsdal will have to wait until April 2024. Helse Midt-Norway does not know the costs of this. – We have received some estimates from the Health Platform on what it might cost. It is quite true that we are very uncertain. After all, we postponed the introduction in the previous board at the beginning of January. Today we looked at which dates could be realistic and then we came up with two dates, says chairman of Helse Midt-Norge, Odd Inge Mjøen. Board meeting Helse Midt-Norge on Thursday.

Helse Midt-Norge has requested the costs of postponing the health platform. – There are costs associated with such a release, of course, and these are the costs we have asked if we can get a more detailed specification. We have received estimates from the Health Platform. We don’t think that is good enough on the board and are therefore asking for a new case for the next board meeting on 16 February, says Mjøen. Pleased with the decision – I am very happy that we received a postponement decision so that we can now direct all available resources towards St. Olavs to correct mistakes and improve the solution, says employee representative on the board, doctor Lindy Jarosh-von Schweder. – What will such a postponement mean? – It is good news for the hospital that they now have time to correct mistakes and improve the solution. We are completely dependent on that, because as the situation is now, it is not perceived as very satisfactory, says Jarosh-von Schweder.
