Imagine a healthcare
system in which digital and mobile technologies, medical knowledge at the point
of need, and collaboration among providers deliver safe, high-quality care for
everyone—a healthcare system that does not require the patient to complete the
same forms at every access point. Instead, imagine an 'open' healthcare system where
primary care physicians have access to your specialty medical information and
specialists have access to your primary care information via secure inter-connected
'smart' EHRs that are integrated with personalized eHealth service providers
and delivered directly to a multi-purpose, intelligent, mobile digital device
that can be carried in one’s pocket.
