The website also notes that by basing the platform on openEHR and utilising structured data, the Lifecare Open platform brings together and presents patient data from a variety sources such as records, laboratory information systems, and patient-reported information.
Anders Jönebratt, head of Tietoevry Care in Sweden, said: “To be selected by one of Europe’s leading hospitals is a great honor for us and a demonstration of our commitment to innovation and quality in the healthcare sector. We look forward to working together to achieve our shared vision of more cohesive and efficient care.”
