“ I got involved in developing hospitals in the UK and Africa as a CIO for startups , which was great fun ”

“ Recently , the NHS announced that by 2025 it expects health and social care organisations to have digital maturity ,” said Gurnett . “ This confirms the digital transformation wave that policymakers and healthcare leaders recognise as necessary for health and social care systems . Innovaccer ’ s proven technology will help NHS and related healthcare stakeholders accelerate their transformation and add value to healthcare .”
The rise of digital health spotlighted the potential for great advancement , but as has happened in so many other infotech industries , healthcare application vendors have unintentionally created an environment where their solutions lack the need and benefit of true interoperability .

“ They have in effect built walled gardens and now , walled clouds which we refer to as data silos ,” said Gurnett .
In order to improve care and reduce care costs , healthcare organisations need to ingest and smartly consolidate this fragmented data into unified patient records that enable advanced analytics , integrated workflows , insights at the point of care , and patient-centred holistic care — all of which are essential to improving health and financial outcomes .
“ This is why Innovaccer took a different approach from the beginning ,” Gurnett explained . “ The Innovaccer Health Cloud goes beyond mere interoperability or connectivity , and ushers in an open industry ecosystem based on a unique , patientcentric data model that seals healthcare ’ s fractures to bring healthcare data and stakeholders together .”
“ The move to the UK market was an obvious choice , as digitally-enabled care is expected to go mainstream across the NHS in England — advancing to full digitalisation within the next few years . The NHS is now transitioning to integrated care systems , which are very similar in nature to what we see in the USA and other countries ; and the same type of enablement we ’ ve brought organisations successfully transforming in the USA .”
In order to deliver healthcare effectively , the NHS has embraced integrated care systems ( ICSs )— as opposed to separate organisations in primary , secondary , and tertiary care and out into social care . Gurnett sees ICSs as key drivers in helping unify patient data across the care continuum .
