Politicians demand that the Minister of Health take action after the slaughter of the introduction of the Health Platform – news Trøndelag – Local news, TV and radio

The National Audit Office and the municipal audit office in Trondheim today published their joint investigation of the Health Platform. Here the introduction gets total slaughter. – The strong criticism they come up with should be the last nail in the coffin for the scandal-prone records system, says Bård Hoksrud, Frp’s health policy spokesperson. Fears lives will be lost Hoksrud fears that several billion kroner will be wasted and that lives may be lost because “the prestige of implementing the Health Platform has been lost”. – Deaths, poorer patient safety, reduced treatment capacity, patients disappearing from waiting lists and extra work for healthcare personnel. These are just some of the serious consequences of introducing the Health Platform, says Hoksrud. – Now I expect the Minister of Health to stop pushing the health company ahead of him and pull the emergency brake. Asks the Minister of Health to take action Health policy spokesperson in KrF, Olaug Bollestad, also has clear challenges for the Minister of Health. – KrF demands that the Minister of Health take action to clean up the problems with the Health Platform. It is his responsibility to ensure that patients receive a safe and well-functioning healthcare system. – The health platform was supposed to be a boost for the patients, but has instead become a headache for the employees and a threat to patient safety. Bollestad describes it as completely unacceptable that the introduction of the Health Platform threatens patient safety.

Municipalities consider Arne Bangstad is the introduction manager for the Health Platform for the municipalities in Namdalen. None of the municipalities in this region have definitively said “no” to using the Health Platform. – But the municipalities would rather look for alternative solutions, he says to news. Bangstad says today’s report from the National Audit Office will make the municipalities even more secure in this election. – This is a new reminder of the uncertainty surrounding the Health Platform as a records system. In addition, the municipalities are also concerned about the risk of being an owner in the Health Platform, Bangstad believes. The health platform is currently in operation in 28 municipalities and in seven hospitals, and two new hospitals and six municipalities are soon due. Over 33,000 users work in the system every day. – The National Audit Office’s report is serious and must have consequences for the way we work in the future with such projects. The situation is critical in Helse Midt and we expect the minister to follow up on the recommendations from the National Audit Office. That’s according to Høyre’s health policy spokesperson, Erlend Svardal Bøe. Published 24.10.2024, at 11.59 Updated 24.10.2024, at 12.08
