Is Healthcare on the Right Path to Transformation?

In recent healthcare conferences, there's been significant buzz around healthcare transformation. The sector faces a host of challenges, from workforce shortages to rising costs and poor outcomes. To tackle these issues, healthcare leaders are turning to cutting-edge technologies like AI and virtual care. Some advocate for incremental improvements, while others argue for a complete overhaul of the care delivery system. At a recent HealthIMPACT Forum in New York City, Arthur Gianelli highlighted the paradox of Electronic Health Records (EHRs): while effective for data collection, they've notably worsened the lives of clinicians. Gianelli noted that practitioners now spend as much time interfacing with computers as they do with patients, underscoring the complex realities of technological integration in healthcare.
