S1 Ep6 The future of electronic patient records and why they are on the tipping point of disruption: Thomas Webb (part 2)

In this episode I continue my interview with Thomas Webb, founder and CEO of Ethical Healthcare Consulting. Thomas shares his thoughts about the current state of the electronic patient record market and why he believes we are on the cusp of some big changes. He makes the case for open source, open standards and investing in the community of people trying to accelerate this new approach to the core digital systems used within our NHS.  The Digital Ecology podcast creates a window into the backstory of technology adoption in UK’s healthcare system. Through interviews with experts in the field, we shine a light on the inner workings of digital health and uncover a world of complexity and challenge. We are in the foothills of technology adoption, where the hype doesn’t always match the reality. The metaphor of a digital ecology expresses how we might take an holistic approach to adoption of digital in healthcare, transforming a system borne out of an analogue era into one fit for the contemporary world. Ultimately it is about making things better for patients, staff and the NHS as a whole. Whether you’re a startup founder, investor, healthcare professional or just curious about innovation in the NHS, this podcast has something for you.
