The enterprise architecture is applied for the largest county comprising of over 1900 social service and healthcare related information systems and the target is to design one joint system with maximum of 300 supporting information systems resulting in 3 B EUR savings.
Abstract
The Finnish government has decided to implement a reform in the social and healthcare system by combining the two in the future. There are several drivers for this change that have been identified. Large number of information systems that are not interoperable, challenges in data management and isolated service offering are the most significant ones. In the government’s strategy for the future the digitalisation will provide tools to solve these challenges. In this paper the landscape is outlined and the architecture choices are discussed. The enterprise architecture is applied for the largest county comprising of over 1900 social service and healthcare related information systems. The target is to design one joint system with maximum of 300 supporting information systems resulting in 3 B EUR savings.
This work analysed the experience of developing and implementing an electronic medical record, core element of a EHR, by the Azienda Ospedaliera Universitaria Integrata (Integrated NHS-University Hospital) of Verona and identified the critical factors in the system implementation, its organizational impact, and the eff...

Digital health systems can be effective when they are connected to each other and are able to share relevant information with stakeholders. In South Africa, however, not all digital health systems within the public healthcare environment are connected. The public healthcare system could therefore benefit from the imple...

Jennifer Neville did not want to go into computer science—but that’s exactly where she landed. Neville discusses the starts and stops that led to her professional sweet spot and her work identifying “surprising failures” making it hard for AI to handle complexity.
