Redefined CIO role
The line of what constitutes IT and business is very much a hot topic being discussed over the years. Healthcare has adopted technology long time ago. Today none of the health care providers can effectively function without technology while the adoption may vary from purely using medical devices / imaging to integrate enterprise solutions, depending upon the nature and size of the individual business.
With the thrust towards digital hospital, quality and standards, automation is the buzzword driving functions across the hospitals. This has lead the CIOs moving from a back office IT provider of services into being an integral part of the business enabling better decision making while devising newer procedures or launch of services or in patient engagement or research engagements.
Innovations & ROI
Recognizing the need for Innovation we have set up Dr. B R Barwale Center of Ophthalmic Technology and Innovation at Sankara Nethralaya in Jan 2018. The mandate was to drive technology driven innovation to improve quality of care and also to bring in next generation of services for improvement in quality of eye care. The sustained collaborative effort of the teams in partnership with technology leaders has led to the creation of the automatic retinal screening algorithim for Diabetic retinopathy. The new technology is revolutionizing screening like never seen before besides helping in detecting Diabetic retinopathy and resulting in saving of eye sight.
Key Priorities
We at Sankara Nethralaya had been on the forefront of Digitization and automation for years now. Our focus on IT has enabled better patient servicing and improved patient satisfaction.
