title: Making IT better.
abstract: The body of the healthcare sector is today supported by a nervous system of advanced technology infrastructure that has become vital to its efficient operation. The sharing of information between hospitals, clinics, surgeries and administrative units has become a key part of the everyday activities of the sector, streamlining processes and giving healthcare professionals access to stored knowledge that would otherwise be unavailable. Supporting this 'nervous system' are the companies that supply and maintain the networks and technology on which the sector now relies.
