I came across this interesting health blog a couple of weeks ago.

I found the article 'Thinking Beyond the EMR. Why location, tracking and sensing technologies may provide a higher, faster rate of return' interesting. The authors talks about focusing on various location, tracking and sensing technologies and how they can be applied to improve patient flow, on-time delivery of services, staff productivity, and asset management as being the next way to add value to businesses after digitisation.
