Lot 2: Data Population Health Medicine Optimisation System Lot 2 will enable Approved Organisations to access healthcare decision intelligence tools to make more informed, evidence-based decisions when prescribing medicines by providing them with insights and recommendations based on data and analytics for general practices, hospitals, and community care.
