The healthcare industry is being revolutionized by technology and how it is making lives simpler for those involved in the healthcare continuum. From patients, physicians, providers, payers, hospitals, labs, pharmacies to government authorities, everyone is benefitting from the implementation of health IT in the country. Although the adoption to health IT systems is still not 100%, but gradually, the industry is moving towards achieving that. It will eventually lead us to an era where patients will be the center of attention from all health care providers and the associated costs will be considerably low.
One product which is assisting practice all over the country in shifting to technology is “All-in-One” Cloud by CureMD.
However, that requires the industry to be working on coordinated care delivery model where payments are based on performances. These are the core objectives of Accountable Care Organizations (ACOs) that promise to become the future of US healthcare industry. However, using the right technology is paramount to the success of this model as widely agreed by physicians.
When Investment Rhymes with Canada
Canada has a proud history of achievement in the areas of science and technology, and the field of biomanufacturing and life sciences is no exception.
First and foremost, the concept of Accountable tech needs to flourish in the industry. Fostering relationships between doctors and patients during every interaction through predictive tech and not through retrospective analysis will be crucial to the success of implementing a health care model where everyone is accountable.
Every stakeholder involved in the health care delivery model also needs to use devices which are cooperative. That means the devices are able to do the tasks they are required to in a healthcare setting at every point of service for the patients. In case the technology fails, the whole model of healthcare will break down.
Connected EHRs thus will only be a reality if steps are taken sooner rather than later to ensure the industry benefits from technology. At present, disconnected EHRs are not serving any meaningful purpose and the dream of ACOs, value-driven and outcomes-based payment models will not succeed fast enough if it is not fixed immediately.
