Digitization - opportunities galore
There is no denying that COVID-19 has changed our world forever, most notably in the healthcare sector. Early on in 2020, healthcare providers and facilities had to make a multitude of changes to their processes and spaces to adjust to the influx of COVID-related impact on patients.
The bulk of these changes has involved going digital and adopting automation processes wherever possible. Tele Ophthalmology got significant attention. The initial screening processes before the consultants see the patient in the clinic saw a significant jump in the adoption of digitization of care.
The fear factor of COVID, demand from patients and innovative practices lead to disruption of virtual care both by patients and by consultants. This significantly enhanced quality of care and disrupted access to quality care at affordable costs. We also saw a significant increase in compliance through smart use of technology through automated reminders, and personalized messaging besides automated bots doing many of the routine work.
IT: The Future of India
Healthcare IT is poised for significant disruption and growth. From a global perspective, we see disruptive changes happening across the entire landscape of Wellness, Chronic care and Critical care areas. The democratization of screening and tests leveraging mobile technologies and the much-awaited 5G transformation will be the tipping point. Most of the care provided in a clinical setting can be made available to the consumer at their homes or at a convenient point leading to a significant reduction of costs and enhanced quality through better availability of Data.
