A digital strategy for connected health and care
The move to integrated health and care means care needs to be delivered in new ways. Against a backdrop of cost pressures, and the subsequent need for operational efficiencies, this is putting technology back in the spotlight.
Increasingly, health and care organisations are moving towards a whole system approach, in which communities are built that can share resources and collaborate more effectively.
New cloud IT service models can underpin this way of working, where investments are re-exploited for multiple use cases, and closer collaboration.
Cisco believes that digital transformation is critical to building a sustainable health and care system, in which digital technology is central to business planning.
Two white papers, one setting out the business case, and one setting out the technical aspects, outline this approach; explaining how business alignment is critical to successful technology adoption and offering detailed guidance on technology and design.
