Using Health IT for Personalized Medicine, Patient Experience

Using digital technologies and patient data to improve diagnostics and treatment plans could alleviate many of these problems, the survey suggested. This kind of technology can foremost improve the patient experience of care by boosting personalized medicine.

“By focusing on the whole patient, and by placing him or her at the center of the healthcare world, providers can see beyond the intervention alone,” the report authors explained. “As a result, rather than appealing to medical devices/tools or individual treatments, the industry can create an ecosystem that will benefit all stakeholders: better care for individuals, better efficiency for healthcare systems, and more appropriate deployment of resources for governmental agencies.”

Tapping more digital health technologies, utilizing patient data, and helping clinicians deliver the personalized care experience that both patients and providers want will help administrators move toward their own goals.
