"we had the idea first!"
But the #FastFollowers usually win in the end.
Active followers unite 👀

You're too late for the first wave.
So you should sit tight and invest in the #FastFollowers who learn from the first-wave's experiences (good/bad) and benefit from their investments in marketing & infra.
Most VCs will ignore them, but this approach led to Google and Facebook!

Is there a link please to the final plan adopted today?
I am looking forward to reading it & seeing how strategies trialled & found successful in the #Maynooth DZ will be extended to the so-called #FastFollowers & hope #Newbridge is classified as a fast follower.

It's 2022 and we have areas of the country where AT LEAST ONE Trust does NOT have an electronic patient record
Couldn't the #FastFollowers keep up with the #GlobalDigitalExemplars ?
#WhatGoodLooksLike #EPR

How many hospital electronic patient records do ICS’s need to knit together? Not much green 😬
Red: ICS with 7 EPRs
Orange: ICS with 4-6 EPRs
Yellow: ICS with 3 or fewer EPRs BUT at least 1 trust without EPR
Green: ICS with 3 or fewer EPRs AND all trusts have EPR
