The Department of Health is finalising a Digital Health & Social Care Strategic Framework. This will set the direction for and approach to digital enablement of the health system in Ireland over the next seven years. Amongst other things, this will inform government of the value that investment in digital health can bring. In parallel, the HSE is developing the Digital Health Strategic Implementation Plan that details the capabilities and programmes that will deliver on the ambition of the Strategic Framework to transform healthcare in Ireland.
In this webinar, the HISI membership will hear from Niall and John, who are leading out on the Department of Health and HSE components respectively.
