Last week Chris and I visited the MUSE EU conference in Manchester. This was a really interesting experience that gave us the opportunity to learn a lot about the systems that hospitals use in Europe.
The most interesting finding was the fact that despite the differences between the US and European healthcare systems there is also a great deal of similarity. This is particularly true in the registration side of hospitals.
It seems that registration departments on this side of the pond face many of the challenges to which we are so used in the US. Complexity, lack of integration, training... We had the opportunity to present to a group of attendees and they confirmed that these issues are quite difficult to solve. In the next few weeks we will be meeting some of them to continue exploring.
We'll keep you posted.
