"Digital services are playing an increasingly vital role in how patients receive services and the NHS operates," said Richard Last, director at Connect4Care Ltd. who was responsible for implementing the Fiorano ITK Framework. "Achieving interoperability for its stakeholders through Fiorano enables digital innovation across the service for the right care access, at the right time, in the right place with best outcomes for patients."
