Better health outcomes starts with activities that can occur to prevent entering the medical system in the first place. This can range from wellness programs, education, prevention and eLearning initiatives focused on target populations (e.g. children). An emphasis on these activities, managed through an E-Health lens will help reduce high costs of patients seeking medical treatment.

A focus on data quality will also increase the amount of coded data available to the E-Health ecosystem. This coded data will provide better insights into a patient’s health status and allow the use of new, advanced decision support tools. 

Patients will have access to important aspects of their health services through a Personal Health Account.  This service will empower patients to take better care of themselves through views tailored to their condition.

With the proliferation of personal health monitoring devices in the marketplace, a patient will also have an ability to upload data such as exercise regimes and heart rate readings to their Personal Health Account. Their health care providers will then be able to combine this data with other data already present in their records and shared through the national systems to monitor progress against fine-tuned treatment plans.
