As we navigate the 21st century, it’s clear that our traditional models need a radical transformation to address the emerging challenges related to patient centred care, healthcare data interoperability and collaborative technology support models. Let's take a look at key points and takeaways based on conversations happening globally around how technology, demographic shifts, and innovative practices are shaping the future of healthcare.
Five Keys to Transformation
Let’s deep-dive into these points:
The Role of Technology Leaders in Modern Healthcare
Technology touches every facet of our lives and will be a key enabler in modern healthcare. Leaders and visionaries who are passionate about applying technology to solve today's healthcare challenges are the Chief Information Officers (CIOs). The CIO will likely wear multiple hats from technical expert to champion for digital innovation and strategic thought leader for your organisation. To help drive digital change, the CIO of the future will need partners and advocates who can help shoulder the work and keep IT operations running smoothly. As a global partner for healthcare organisations and CIOs in more than 4,000 care settings, we bring our healthcare operations experience to leaders in the midst of technology change and optimisation, operational efficiency and scale initiatives and the pursuit of care team satisfaction.
Reimagining Healthcare Models
Despite advancements, our healthcare models have remained substantially unchanged since the mid-20th century. Today, we are seeing a paradigm shift from the traditional curative care approach to a more proactive chronic disease management model. This involves not just treating illnesses but anticipating and managing chronic conditions through continuous monitoring and early intervention. To enable this new care management model, healthcare organisations need strategic technology plans that will provide integrated data views across the care continuum from clinic to hospital to in-home monitoring.
Global Innovations in Healthcare
We need not look far to find inspiring examples of healthcare innovations from around the world:
These examples demonstrate the diverse strategies implemented to address healthcare challenges such as concerns of aging, resource and financial constraints, access limitations, emerging technologies, and so on.
The Future Vision: Patient-Centric and Data-Driven
The future of healthcare and related healthcare technology solutions place patients and their families at the centre of care. This involves:
This vision emphasises that while ill-health is inevitable, its incidence, frequency, and severity are predictable, preventable, and manageable through a patient-centric approach. What's more, the more integrated, interoperable and connected our healthcare technology systems are throughout the ecosystem, the more complete the vision becomes. The future objective will require healthcare operations, policy and technology coming together for the good of patient and community health. Healthcare technology leaders will be instrumental change agents in helping make this aspiration a reality.
Leveraging Data for Transformation
A significant emphasis is being placed on the transformative potential of data. The Future Data Platform (FDP) will enable unprecedented understanding and analysis of population health and organisations must leverage data to support proactive, cross-organisational, and cross-sector healthcare delivery.
What's Next?
The future will be different and, at the same time, very bright. Although it is a long way to get to the desired state, the steps healthcare leaders take next -- or don't -- are critical to making progress toward the future.
