23 LEARNING POINTS

24 Healthcare is a reactive, rather than proactive industry. Solve one specific problem in healthcare, not ten of them. In healthcare you need to have a business model from the start. Healthcare is very interdependent: you have the doctor, the pharmacy, the patient, the insurance provider, and a dozen other stakeholders that any one service has to coordinate with.

25 Comperhensive planning processes and standards, legislation. Usability fast and simple solutions Implementation central training programs Service update continuous feedback Balance between security and usability PIN for every document PIN or ID-card?
