Key themes for 2017 announced!
Our key themes for this year's iLINKS Innovations conference and exhibition have now been confirmed as follows:
 |
A connected health and social care economyLocally there is a shared vision that every health and social care practitioner will have direct electronic access to the information they need, at the point of care, in order to facilitate improved decision-making, joined-up care provision and better patient experiences and outcomes. To date, some significant work has taken place surrounding information sharing and system interoperability, which has been clinically led and held in high regard both nationally and internationally. |
 |
Digitally empowered individualsHealth services locally will be co-designed with input from patients and health care professionals in order to shape future service provision around the needs of neighbourhoods and localities. To help improve the health and wellbeing of the local population, individuals will be able to access and contribute to their own care record and will be supported to remain independent with the help of innovative assistive technologies. |
 |
Exploiting the digital revolutionOur local health economy stands out as a leader in digital care and innovation, exploring the latest technological innovations in order to improve the health and wellbeing of the local population. As a region, we have four NHS providers who are amongst the most technologically advanced in the country. Known as ‘digital exemplars’, these care providers will be the first to be paper-free and will be internationally recognised, delivering exceptional care, efficiently, through the world-class use of digital technology and information flows, both within and beyond their organisation boundary. |
Further information will be made available shortly, so please put the date in your diary and join our mailing list to be kept up to date with the latest developments or follow us on Twitter @iLINKSInnovator #iLINKS17
