“We are in an era where we need to reimagine how we deliver far-reaching, high quality and connected healthcare - with greater efficiency and value. Digital solutions are key enabler to  support data-navigated analytics and insights to enable adaptive change, business intelligence and strategic prioritisation. However this needs to be achieved through co-design partnerships, to truly release the potential of this rapidly and exponentially advancing technological world.  “Primer” recognises the importance of healthcare stakeholders in this relationship and their domain specific knowledge, to navigate context appropriate digital solutions that are fit for purpose and truly transformative.”
