WHAT ARE THE OBJECTIVES?
// INTEROPERABILITY
The objective of the Grapevine World Initiative is to enable the increasingly important topic of interoperability in all industries by standardized data exchange, which relies on the IHE methodology, thus replacing expensive and inefficient proprietary systems.
// OPENING UP NEW MARKETS
In addition, the Grapevine World marketplace offers companies of every size of enterprise the possibility to enter new markets.
// STRENGTHENING THE IHE COMMUNITY
In addition, the IHE community is being strengthened on a global scale in order to continue to drive forward the leading ongoing global standardization of IT.
HOW DO CITIZENS BENEFIT FROM THE INITIATIVE?
Citizens benefit from the simplification of processes and procedures and consequently receive universal access to their own personal data with complete control and autonomy (example from healthcare: digital patient files, overview and sharing of information at any time by smartphone). Interoperable solutions continue to strongly contribute to cost reductions. Thus, prices fall for end customers as well.
