Integrated care is no longer a pipedream, but an achievable reality.
As more health sector agencies connect to the Health Intranet, a more holistic picture of a person's overall health status can be obtained. This plainly assists in reducing the risk of medical misadventure by having important information accessible at the point of care. Effective use of the Health Intranet will permit more rapid transfer of data, such as laboratory results, GP records and hospital records, between health professionals. This will assist in speeding up the delivery of appropriate medical interventions and so aid in more effective and rapid recovery. Because it's all Internet-based, the overall costs of transactions are lowered.
