Healthcare is facing significant challenges and demands. Governments and healthcare systems are striving to address different priorities and higher demand for services. Medical and technological advances provide opportunities but are they affordable? What about the costs and implications if we fail to adapt.
Worldwide, healthcare systems are encountering immense problems in information technology systems that deliver the promised outcomes.
We know that a key priority may be the need to reduce costs.
We do not give a blanket promise to bring this about. Without the right planning and advice that takes both a short and longer term view, the saving promised in the short term may not materialise. Solutions end up costing ten times as much and taking a great deal longer than agreed.
And then there’s data – efficient collection and management so it contributes to better delivery of services, improved management information and a means to ensure better planning and future strategy.

Systems can work together but this needs skill, expertise and planning.
This is where Service-Oriented Architecture (SOA) comes in.
Services can be linked into a comprehensive system that means information and information handling systems can be accessed according to the business and delivery requirements of different healthcare providers and units – from primary care to acute services – from finance to facilities management – from management to government.
