The Shared Medication Record (FMK) is one of Denmark’s largest cross-sectoral public healthcare initiative, showcasing the power of collaboration and innovation. The Danish Health Data Authority and Trifork has maintained this critical infrastructure for over 15 years, achieving near 100% uptime and striving to eliminate downtime entirely – even during complex updates.
Fifteen years ago, the Danish Health Data Authority set out to transform healthcare with a unified medication record. The goal was to provide healthcare providers – across hospitals, pharmacies, general practitioners, and municipal care services – real-time access to accurate medication data. This system was not just about efficiency but also safety, reducing errors by serving as a single source of truth for all medication information.
Trifork collaborated with the Danish Health Data Authority to develop FMK, a centralized database integrated with 40 healthcare systems nationwide. It ensures seamless access to medication plans, prescriptions, and purchase records for Danish citizens. This close collaboration has been underpinned by open communication, proactive problem-solving, and a shared commitment to quality.
“The collaboration with Trifork has been characterized by quick access to the developers and full attention by management. The developers have been proactive with new ideas and advice.”
FMK has set a high standard for digital healthcare by reducing medication errors, improving patient safety, strengthening collaboration, and ensuring near-perfect uptime – setting a benchmark for critical healthcare infrastructure solutions.
Looking forward, FMK serves as a blueprint for healthcare innovation in Denmark and internationally. Building on this foundation, Trifork is expanding its expertise through the Trifork Health Platform, a scalable solution aimed at driving global digital healthcare transformation and enhancing patient care across borders.
The success of FMK highlights the potential for long-term partnerships to drive continuous improvement and innovation in public healthcare systems. With a proven track record, Trifork remains at the forefront of delivering transformative digital solutions that make a difference.
