Informing Health Care

David Davies,
NHS Wales Implementation Director,
Informing Healthcare

The Vision: Improving healthcare in Wales by making better use of information and technology.

"We can integrate care only if we can integrate information"

All healthcare systems have historically organised and arranged the delivery of care around institutions and not patients. This fragmented approach often causes lapses in quality and safety which is not sustainable in a modern healthcare system that demands integrated services around the patient. From the patients' perspective, services will only be truly integrated when they, as individuals, are able to work with their health professionals who, in turn, will be supported by common information that is reliable, accessible and secure.
