title: Development, implementation and diffusion of EHR systems in Denmark.
abstract: The Danish EHR-Observatory has monitored Danish EHR projects for several years with respect to a number of parameters such as diffusion, diffusion rate, barriers and limitations, and experience gained. The results of the 2002 monitoring reveal that investment in IT is relatively low and the diffusion rate is below the estimated level. The EHR projects gain a lot of valuable experience, but the coordination of evaluation results should be improved.
