The University Hospital of the West Indies (UHWI) is embracing the use of technology to enhance patient care delivery which, along with several other infrastructural developments, is to propel the hospital into a first-class facility. Officials of the St Andrew-based hospital, speaking during a Gleaner Editors' Forum at the newspaper's North Street offices in Kingston last week, said improved technology is coming for the hospital to ensure that it can efficiently meet the needs to the public.

A few weeks ago, I attended the annual Health Information Management Systems Conference in Orlando, Florida (HIMSS17).

This was my second year, and apart from my company being the only Jamaican company represented among hundreds of the best technology companies in the world, I was quite excited when I visited the various booths and saw the very impressive offerings.
