Thought Leadership Challenges Series
Welcome to our new feature series where we speak with industry experts to discuss some of the key challenges across health and care, and the role technology has to play to tackle them.
The series covers the role of AI and data in supporting the workforce, processes and integrated care systems. We discuss the role of data and the opportunity to connect organisations. Our series continues to discuss patient flow, how to scale remote monitoring, shared care records, records management and more!
