Making connections - A transatlantic exchange to support the adoption of digital health between the US VHA and England’s NHS

Britain's 2020Health.Org has just released a major report outlining how the United Kingdom can transform its healthcare system by enhancing its existing collaboration effort with the U.S. Veteran's Health Administration (VHA) and by sharing technology, knowledge and lessons learned on the effective use of Telehealth, personal health records (PHR), and the open source VistA EHR system. The 92-page report is entitled "Making connections - A transatlantic exchange to support the adoption of digital health between the U.S. VHA and England’s NHS." The well-written and documented report lays out step by step how Britain's National Health System (NHS) can create a digital revolution that can significantly enhance its ability to provide health care.

The 2020Health report "Making Connections: A transatlantic exchange to support the adoption of digital health between the US VHA and England’s NHS" was released on March 13, 2013. The report was sponsored by an unrestricted educational grant from NHS, 3 Million Lives, the VHA and Robert Bosch.
