Dossier médical sommeil : un outil de partage de données L'expérience du Réseau Morphée

The set-up of an electronic patient data file for sleep disorders requires stringent procedures to define the content and fulfils the security and confidentiality regulations mandatory in a healthcare network. The Network Morphee (www.reseau-morphee.org) with the objective to simplify the care of chronic sleep disorders, has an electronic health record since 4 years. The sharing of clinical data over secured internet allows the exchange of follow-up data between health care professionals. The network has implemented an automated collection of diagnostic data from the software of polygraph and polysomnograph and also compliance data from CPAP machines in real time through limited human intervention. The overall data gathered by the network gives to the practitioner a comprehensive picture of his patient population and allows the set-up of various alarms on the clinical state or compliance to treatment. An observatory of sleep data is also available through anonymous extractions which can be tailored to the need.
