In The Netherlands all hospitals are using digital medical records, but a lot of hospitals are still in the process of implementing it. So new patients are being registered in the digital medical record database while medical records of existing patients are being digitalized. Furthermore, a nationwide medical record system is being developed and implemented that contains all medical data for a patient and is accessible for hospitals, general practitioners, pharmacies, dentists etc. Although there are issues concerning the privacy of this system so there is some delay. And all hospitals are using different database systems, so it is hard to synchronize. Within the hospitals a results for example from laboratories and imaging is digital and put in the digital medical record of a patient. If you need more information, please ask! Best regards!
