If national and global
targets of healthcare are
to be achieved, large-

Miles to go

Imaging, especially echocardiography, plays a key role in structural, congenital and valvular heart disease interventions; not only for the evaluation of the disease and selection of eligible patients, but also for guidance of the procedures and in follow-up examinations.
A prolonged or deeper economic slowdown will inevitably be met by further reductions in IT capital and operating budgets, so, even those health IT initiatives that have a demonstrated ROI could become difficult to fund.

While healthcare is beneficial in the aggregate, it may also result in harm. Information technology may be used in a variety of ways to improve the safety and efficiency of healthcare.
To realise the benefits of Service-Oriented Architecture (SOA) adoption, including cost-efficiency, adaptability, leverage of legacy systems, and the business agility required to meet new healthcare needs, healthcare organisations must adopt a realistic strategy, establish effective SOA governance processes,.
