Traditional view of
Information in Healthcare
– Electronic Medical Record: An electronic record of health
related information on an individual that can be created,
gathered, managed, and consulted within one
organization
– Electronic Health Record: conforms to nationally
recognized interoperability standards, across more than
one organization
Personal Health Record: conforms to nationally recognized
interoperability standards, drawn from multiple sources,
managed shared, and controlled by the individual.

Digital Technology and Health
• The impact of digital technology in healthcare can
be transformative:
– integration and interoperability of data for both care and
research can provide insights to the whole patient pathway
– understanding the complexities of disease through open access
quality data and evidence
– awareness of health and wellbeing through knowledge
empowerment of the patient as a citizen – involving patient in
own healthcare management.
– Digital community settings provide choices for people’s support
or care.
– Efficient/cost effective contact and patient experience through
telemedicine and telecare services

Future Challenges
• Further integration of clinical and
personal datasets: From primary
care to acute and secondary care,
to community and social care – to
ambient and sensor data sets: IoT
• Engaging with international
standardisation efforts (e.g. IHE,
HL7, CDISC, etc.)
• Building a universal PHR:
Patients could have access to
records beyond general practice
• Support for interpreting digitally
available health and care
information
• Effective integration between care
provision and research through
digital technologies and data-
driven approaches.
• Universal online professional
access to record solutions,
empowering the concept of
shared care.
• Healthcare electronic
transactions need to become
broadly available to patients
and citizens.
• Involving the citizen, through
feedback, in shaping the
future planning of the digital
healthcare landscape
• Role for new professionals in
digital health – working with
other communities of
professionals, academics,
and enthusiasts
