The new platform will be used to store, manage, and analyze patient data from across the country. This will allow healthcare providers to have a more complete picture of each patient’s health, which can lead to better diagnosis and treatment decisions.
The platform will also be used to develop new and innovative healthcare applications. For example, it could be used to create a virtual assistant that can help patients with their health care needs.
Te Whatu Ora said that the project is an important step in the transformation of New Zealand’s healthcare system. The agency is committed to using technology to improve the quality of care for all New Zealanders.
benefits of the project include:
- Improved patient safety and outcomes
