Norwegian Research Centre for Electronic Patient Records (NSEP)
From its inception approximately 10 years ago, the health informatics research community at NTNU has developed into a truly multidisciplinary research group engaging faculty and PhD students from computer sciences, linguistics, humanities, social and health sciences. Grounded in the university's strategic research areas Information and Communication Technology and Medical Technology, 6 faculty members and approximately 20 post doc. and PhD candidates are now engaged in a multitude of projects. The activities are conducted in cooperation with SINTEF, Helse Midt-Norge RHF, KITH, NPR, St. Olavs hospital and relevant partners from industry.
In 2003, the research group was awarded a research grant for developing a Norwegian centre for research on electronic patient records. The center was established at the university hospital campus, and contains the healthcare informatics usability lab.
