EPR focus is “blinkered” and attention should be elsewhere

Steve Sawyer, managing director of Access Health, Support and Care, believes that focusing solely on electronic patient records (EPRs) is “blinkered” and outdated, as the healthcare sector needs to shift its focus upstream towards interventions with individuals before they require hospitalization. He emphasizes the importance of interoperability and a continuum of integrated health support and care. Sawyer argues that the focus should be on the individual’s needs rather than a duopoly of two big EPRs. He highlights the successful partnerships Access has with NHS trusts and the innovative solutions they provide. Sawyer also invites healthcare professionals to attend Digital Health Rewired to engage with industry leaders and explore the latest advancements in digital healthcare.
