Data sharing, interoperability and care integration
Data sharing, interoperability and care integration
Co-authored with the UK EPR Network, this white paper brings together insights from eight leading healthcare technology pioneers — BridgeHead, CLEO Systems, Dedalus, Harris Health Alliance, Integrella, Orion Health, SI² and System C, to explore what it really takes to achieve data sharing, interoperability, and integrated care in the NHS.
From consolidating legacy systems and connecting multiple vendors to building clinician trust and embedding standards-based integration, it reveals the technical and organisational foundations needed to move from basic digitisation to joined-up, patient-centred care.
In this report:
• How NHS organisations can assess and progress their interoperability maturity
• Practical lessons from real-world case studies showing measurable impact
• Strategies to build trust, improve efficiency, and reduce digital fragmentation
• Recommendations for sustainable, cross-organisational collaboration
