Improving the Continuum of Patient Care Through Technology

In past years, governments and health systems have explored ways to address health population management and chronic disease challenges. I’ve seen an increase in efforts to come up with new and efficient outpatient hospital models by leveraging digital channels and partnerships, including those highlighted by Becker’s Hospital Review. Specifically, there has been much discussion around restructuring healthcare teams and technology to improve the patient experience, accelerate care delivery and lower healthcare costs.

While many would argue that the value of remote patient monitoring (RPM) is no longer in dispute, the lack of visibility and coordination across clinical specialties, together with the pace of regulatory and payment models, could halt the bells ringing toward increased tech penetration. Tech leaders understand the need for transformation and collaboration. Many companies have entered M&As, which can be a way to increase offering portfolios as a value driver for engaging with providers and payers.
