Data sharing in healthcare - a snapshot of implementations
License Price: US$ 4,740.00
Introduction
For most countries, a country-wide data interchange for healthcare still seems some time away. Can it be achieved without having established a consistent data interchange in place on a local basis? Is the actual level of connection between medical care-givers in a region an indication of how quickly a nationwide data exchange can take place?
Features and benefits
Given the large number of competing IT solutions on the market, the need to share data seems daunting and at the same time more necessary than ever. Ovum thinks that it takes a certain level of maturity in the use of healthcare IT before electronic health record (EHR) systems will be deployed on a country-wide base.
