Care institutes

Benefits of standardised, interoperable health data sources for care institutes

  • Increase efficiency and productivity
  • Improve quality of care
  • Reduce cost by avoiding duplicate tests and unnecessary consultations

Care quality and efficiency

Health care institutes have gradually woken up to the opportunity to examine collections of patient records in order to determine the quality and efficiency of the care they are giving to patient groups, and to investigate any issues to do with risk or poor health outcomes for some patients.

Even within care institutes there is a need to connect disparate health information systems through interoperability standards.

Optimised care pathways or choice of techniques

Hospitals can rely on data extracted from electronic health records to optimise care pathways and determine the impact of variations on outcomes, pain, length of hospital stay.

Hospitals can analyse the outcomes of using one technique rather than the other (e.g. minimal invasive vs open surgery).
