We set up Web-access to the central electronic medical record of the University Hospitals Leuven. Purpose was to enable extemal physicians to more actively participate in the care process as full members of the multidisciplinary treatment team. They get a view on the complete care process in the hospital, and can access results as these become available instead of being provided summary information post factum. This complements traditional electronic exchange between healthcare records. We report on technical setup and results from an extended pilot. We believe that this approach can enrich the discussion on how to provide the “global medical record”.
