It's time for health IT to be a platform, not an application.
Rethinking the architecture of health IT to unlock potential
Conversations about the value of data in healthcare have undergone a significant change in just a few years. And while it took a pandemic for the market to change, it is comforting to know that open access to high-quality data is now prioritised over anything else when it comes to enhancing healthcare.
Finally, providers are beginning to prioritise data above apps, and the NHS procurement process is changing fundamentally. Tenders are now less likely to assign responsibility for data formats to vendors. Instead, they are asking for answers based on data standards that are free, open, and vendor-neutral.
Tomaz Gornik, CEO of Better, explores why we need to rethink the architecture of health IT in order to unlock the potential of a patient-centric approach to care.
