Information and communications technology functionality and devices.

ICT/device type Short description
eHealth-box The eHealth box is delivered to all Epital Care Model (ECM)-connected persons and contains: (1) an Android tablet with the ECM Health Navigator (Appinux) that contains a condition app (which includes an algorithm for triaging a data set regarding lung function measures) and the ability to video conference with one point of contact to the Response and Coordination Center (RCC); (2) a spirometer; (3) a pulse oximeter, included in the facility to measure pulse activity; (4) a thermometer; and (5) a medical first aid box.
Epital Care Model medical record (EpiProcess) EpiProcess is a process-oriented shared care system that enables the eDoctor and the RCC nurses to input into the same system and coordinate their activities, particularly with respect to exacerbation treatments and follow-ups. EpiProcess is integrated with the Health Navigator, enabling the RCC and eDoctor to evaluate or react on the ECM population’s self-monitored data.
Municipality Care Record (Avaleo) The municipality of Lyngby-Taarbæk has a care record system (Avaleo) which is used for those who receive municipality health care services. EpiProcess can communicate with the Avaleo system via MedCom messages.
Messaging (MedCom) and the Health Communication Network All activities that involve medical treatment are electronically communicated to the general practitioner through standardized MedCom messages generated by EpiProcess.
National Medication Service (FMK) FMK is a national medication service for coordinating updated information about all medicine related to persons [31]. FMK was not available at the time of the feasibility study, and prescribed medicine had to be documented in both the EpiProcess and the eDoctor systems.
