Digital Jersey, in partnership with the Health and Social Services Department and the Primary Care Body, has launched the island’s strategy for digitising its health and care system by 2025.
The Digital Health & Care Strategy, launched at the organisation’s 2016 Annual Review event, aims to digitise the whole health and care sector to deliver benefits to patients, service-users and care professionals, whilst fostering economic growth.
Key areas within the strategy include:
• Development of the Jersey Care Record, a secure universal online record of health that will improve access to records and interactions between health and care organisations
• Development of the Jersey Health Database, which will allow the sector to improve how care is planned, delivered and managed through population data analysis
• Development of a local digital health supplier hub to promote local capability and eventually export Jersey’s digital health innovation.
Tony Moretta, CEO of Digital Jersey, commented: “The strategy will provide a roadmap for nurturing and integrating our own future digital health start-ups, whilst encouraging off-island businesses to use Jersey as a testbed for new products.”
