Our second report from Israel, part of our #SmartHealthSystems study, shows how a small country succeeds in effectively bringing innovation to regular care practices. Example: Telemedicine
As part of our #SmartHealthSystems study our look at Israel shows how a small nation has focused on big data in the healthcare sector for the last two decades – and with a giant database of patient information, also wants to become a paradise for international research.
#SmartHealthSystems: What have we learned from Switzerland? Despite the country’s federally fragmented health system, implementing a decentralized national electronic patient record system is feasible – as long as the hurdles are cleared along the way.
#SmartHealthSystems: Our third contribution from the Netherlands shows what consequences misjudging the situation can have and the disadvantages of purely technology-driven advances – and why Germany still has much to learn from its neighbor to the West when it comes to e-health.
