title: Common sense as a key requirement for promoting the electronic healthcare record: two years of experience in the Belgian National PROREC Centre.
abstract: PROREC-BE vzw is the first national PROREC centre that has been created to promote the use of high quality electronic healthcare records in line with European standards and insights. The mission of the centre is to satisfy the needs of all actors playing in the electronic healthcare record theatre. This is realised by setting up discussion fora and technical groups, and by adhering to common sense principles such as acceptance of each other's competence, looking at responsibilities instead of rights, and preferring win-win over zero-sum games. After two year of working, the Belgian PROREC centre has satisfactorily shown that working along these principles pays off, and is beneficial for all.
