Intelligent Healthcare
Unlocking the power of data
To be intelligent, healthcare systems need good data
translated into effective knowledge that is
disseminated to those who need to know. However,
today's healthcare systems are far from being in that
happy position.
The collection of healthcare data is an ineffective
process. Language proves a big barrier. Standards
vary across Europe. Important data may be ignored
such as patient experiences of their treatment. Other
forms of data, notably personal medical records, are
not shared (despite guarantees of anonymity), so
decisions about intelligent healthcare investments
cannot be made. Then there is the fact that not all
healthcare data are transparent or shared
appropriately. Patients in one country
have access to information that people
in neighbouring countries do not.
The entire process of data
gathering, storing and
distribution is poorly regulated.
Sometimes requirements are
too onerous and bureaucratic,
such as with the clinical trial
process. In other situations
such as Health Apps for
smart phones regulation is
just beginning.
Given this cacophony how
can healthcare systems unlock
the power of data and become
more knowledgeable and
effective?
