Information
- Why are we still stuck in EPR cycles? Is it poor implementation, interoperability, cultural change, or are we aiming for the wrong target?
- Debate whether the EPR journey is destined for stagnation or on the cusp of a generational leap forward.
- Have national strategies and funding approaches helped or hindered progress?
- Is the NHS's approach to digital maturity and interoperability evolving fast enough to break this cycle?
- Is "next-gen EPR" about platformisation, AI augmentation, or patient-centred interfaces or should we move beyond EPR as a concept and think in terms of ecosystems, data fabrics, or real-time clinical intelligence tools?
- How do social care, community care, and public health fit into the picture?
