About the council
The Healthcare Council is a representative group of about 15 members who reflect the wider Intellect healthcare membership in terms of size, sector and market experience. The council meets regularly to debate and bring focus to Intellect’s healthcare policy and programme of activities, and to provide a consultative industry panel for government and other stakeholders.

The council is committed to playing an integral and positive role in the modernisation of health and social care service provision, in terms of:

• promoting the transformative potential of IT as a tool to help service providers meet the changing demands of 21st century health and social care, particularly given rising expectations of healthcare, and the difficulties of managing long-term conditions and the increasing burden of ‘lifestyle diseases’
• highlighting the need to move towards a more holistic interoperability, while ensuring business processes can evolve to support new models of delivery and that systems are flexible enough to allow people to leverage the benefits of IT
• encouraging alignment between strategy and implementation by ensuring there are appropriate links between desired outcomes, policy decisions and implementation
• engaging the whole stakeholder community including patients, users and service providers
• maintaining a vibrant and competitive marketplace that stimulates innovation and continues to drive up quality.
