𝐀𝐝𝐯𝐚𝐧𝐜𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐃𝐢𝐠𝐢𝐭𝐚𝐥 𝐓𝐫𝐚𝐧𝐬𝐟𝐨𝐫𝐦𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧 𝐑𝐞𝐪𝐮𝐢𝐫𝐞𝐬 𝐒𝐭𝐫𝐚𝐭𝐞𝐠𝐢𝐜 𝐏𝐥𝐚𝐧𝐧𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐈𝐦𝐦𝐞𝐚𝐬𝐮𝐫𝐚𝐛𝐥𝐞 𝐏𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐞𝐧𝐜𝐞 Healthcare providers may be digitized, but they are not always connected. Historically, software procurement has been fragmented, with institutions independently deciding on solutions without broader regulatory mandates for standardization. Interoperability projects are very technical and hard to translate into lay language. But in the end it’s the human factor that is essential for success. Luke Readman, the CIO of OneLondon says building public trust has been central to OneLondon’s success. The project engaged in annual public consultations to understand and align with the public’s expectations for data usage and privacy. This inclusive approach helped strengthen public support and confidence in the system. Similarly, before France designed their digital health ambitions and investments, they did a thorough on the ground research to see the differences between regions and populations and also understand what people expect from healthcare digitalization.

[FRESH] The State of Healthcare Digitalization in Italy The EU’s Resilience and Reconstruction Program (PNRR) has driven funding and deadlines for nationwide EHR implementation across Europe. In a discussion with Marco Foracchia, we look at Italy, where the introduction of a second version of the national EHR aims to achieve interoperability across Italy's 20 regions. Tip for vendors eyeing the Italian market: Partner with established Italian companies due to centralized procurement processes favoring local players. Focus on long-term partnerships and delivering measurable results, not just installations.
