The Norwegian Health Archive Case Study

THE FUTURE The project began in April 2019, with delivery in June 2020 and full deployment in September 2020. Further, the parties have signed a 10-year support contract for the preservation system, ensuring a long and fruitful partner ship between the two parties. This collaboration will also contribute to enhancing global awareness on how to safeguard and preserve electronic health records, a new yet important domain. Further, the workflow established by the NHA could also be adopted by other similar public institutions with a responsibil ity to store digital files for the long term and guarantee future access for future generations to conduct research and gain in sight to knowledge.

Preservation module This module consists of a multi-pipeline workflow designed for handling the three different types of data. This includes func tions designed to enhance performance, data validity and com pliance with the Norwegian health regulations and demands for archival health packages. In addition, this preservation module also includes a new or chestration tool to improve the efficiency of transferring large sets of SIPs. These processes enable the throughput required for handling the creation and storage of Archival Information Packages (AIPs) in the archive, as well as ensuring the sustainability into the future. Access module The access module ensures all files are fully searchable, allowing access for researchers and next of kin, while maintaining the confidentiality of the records. There are two tools that enable this, the first is a Patient Journal Index tool for monitoring, indexing, and accessing Norwegian health data, integrated with external registries for advanced search. The second is an inspection tool to open and search archive ex tractions. This application allows inspection and download of submission, archival and dissemination information packages.
