Benchmarking ICTs In Health

Posted on 24 February 2012

Professor Michael Rigby, Emeritus Professor of Health Information Strategy, has attended an invitational meeting at the OECD headquarters in Paris. 

Information and communication technologies are increasingly central to the delivery of health care, with applications ranging from electronic records to remote monitoring of patients with chronic conditions.  However, the use of these technologies is often far from optimal. OECD, in partnership with the Commonwealth Fund, a US based philanthropy, is starting to address the challenge of how to measure and benchmark the use of such technologies.

Professor Rigby was the only UK academic expert attending and will be involved in the follow-up work.
