DIGITAL HEALTH AND CARE WALES
“ Being a trusted partner underpins everything we do . We want people to work with us , and alongside us , to deliver world-class digital and data products which drive transformation in health and care ”
IFAN EVANS EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR OF STRATEGY , DIGITAL HEALTH AND CARE WALES
What the future holds for Digital Health and Care Wales Evans knows how quickly digital health is changing , having led the digital response to the pandemic in Wales from the Welsh Government . As well as new and emerging technologies , the strategic context is evolving all the time – cyber threats are increasing , IT supply chains are slowing , and it is getting harder to recruit and retain talent .
“ Our ambition is to deliver world-leading digital health and care services for Wales . We are driving towards a standards-based data platform , an open architecture of modular services and APIs , and resilient and secure infrastructure that is shifting to the cloud . I think that globally there has been a big step forward in defining open health care standards , and we want to be at the front of that change . ”
Digital Health and Care Wales hopes that by implementing standards , and opening up its architecture through controlled APIs with well-defined rules and frameworks for access to data and digital services , it will be able to make it easier for others
