Health Information Networks – the Health Connect Engine
Werner Van Huffel, Health and Human Services Industry Strategist, Microsoft APAC
Many countries around the world are tackling the issues of providing better care,
more cost effective services and catering for the ever expanding requirements and
information that care provision demands of their people and infrastructure. The effective
use of Technology has been seen as a way in which assistance can be provided to the
environment to address the issues of delivering healthcare within the inherited constraints.
A major part of this technological ability lies within the features inherent within
the software that drives the technology. Health Information Networks are the technological
presentation of the management, interoperability and integration of healthcare data
between various systems, people and policy interactions – a drive to deliver knowledge
through the healthcare information infrastructure. The Microsoft vision for healthcare
information technology, Knowledge Driven Health, is driven through the use of the
Connected Health Framework – a vendor agnostic set of Architecture, Blueprint and
Design documents. This session will focus on this.
