IMPROVING THE BUSINESS OF HEALTHCARE IN THE OUTCOME ECONOMY
The delivery of modern healthcare has become increasingly reliant on sophisticated medical devices, technologies and facilities. Historically, healthcare has been episodic and reactive — primarily aimed at addressing a malady, illness or injury after it has already happened. As soon as patients are admitted to a hospital, they are connected to a plethora of medical devices supported by a wide range of diagnostic, surgical and therapeutic systems. These in turn depend on complex facilities, health information technologies and related IT infrastructures.
This reactive approach is expensive and unsustainable. As a result, the healthcare ecosystem is looking for ways to transition from reactive care to preventive and outcome-based healthcare models. The Internet of Medical Things (IoMT) can enable the transition to patient-centered preventive care. The use of IoMT connected devices will play an important role in supporting improved quality of care, patient outcomes and improve the business of healthcare in the outcome economy.
