The future is bright and the future of healthcare is data…
In healthcare we have landed on the moon many times with small steps for man and giant leaps for mankind. Data is the next big Neil Armstrong moment for healthcare! In 1853, Florence Nightingale started what we know today as the modern profession of nursing. Interestingly she also helped popularise the graphical presentation of statistical… Read More
Open Data for a new Healthcare IT System
To be able to start an evolution is quite an exciting prospect.
