Invest in world-class IT systems for efficient healthcare data collection and feedback
Recommendation
The need to invest in world-class IT systems must be recognised so that the fundamental principles of data collection, validation and management can be observed: that data be collected only once; that the data be part and parcel of systems used to support healthcare professionals in their care of patients; and that trusts and teams of healthcare professionals receive feedback when data on their services are aggregated.
