Embrace mental health while developing an integrated and personalized delivery care model.

✔ Consider the economic advantage you can reach whether to include mental health data within the information model.

✔ Reduce data overlap when dealing with general or mental diseases and get a 360 degree view of the patient.

The hidden challenge of healthcare systems enabling integrated care

While structured data originated by clinical and administrative

applications will still keep the lead...

...to build an integrated view of the patient, providers are increasingly

drawing upon social care data.

Patient Data ProtectionSetting a governance system to allow data

sharing across the health system and not just between the single provider and the related

patient is expected in a couple of years.

This will require the collaboration of the patient that will be called to provide his consent to share

data across the health ecosystem.

Recognize the bene�ts stemming from a deeper patient engagement that an information digital transformation can develop.

✔ Embed continuous feedback loop through patient journey to ensure increased quality care and integrated access to care for patients su�ering both physical and mental health diseases.

✔ Unearth untapped opportunities in primary and public health data patient to improve a better view of patient pro�le for all members of the care team.

✔ Leverage shared information to support more accurate �nancial and operational e�ciency.
