DOI: .http://doi.org/10.5334/ijic.3051- This paper uses the non-technical term “digitalisation” to describe the introduction of digital devices and systems for collecting and using data for many purposes. It concentrates how we can best use such data and systems to enable coordination of clinical activities between beneficiaries and providers and between providers. It also considers how these data, generated in the course of clinical care and of beneficiaries lives, can be used to inform planning and management decisions about integrated care and used for research.
