How do we begin implementing technology enabled healthcare services?
We cover this topic a lot on the show, but technology enabled healthcare continues to receive a lot of attention. A lot of the conversation and media around technology and healthcare innovation revolves around the innovation itself. We hear about the benefits, features, and capabilities of these new solutions and innovations. But, one often overlooked topic in healthcare innovation includes practical implementation. How do you actually take these new innovations and tools and use them to meaningfully improve healthcare? How do we make sure that a new software, device, or platform ends up actually making healthcare better, rather than just a neat marketing ploy?
So, this week, I take a dive into the research around technology enabled healthcare. Parts of this podcast come from a few different presentations I’ve recently given on this topic covering digital health, implementing virtual healthcare services, and using data in healthcare decision-making.
What we cover in this Episode:
- Define digital health & virtual service delivery
- Applying digital health tools in clinical practice
- Research around digital health and its effectiveness
- Remote Patient Monitoring and Telehealth
- Will artificial intelligence replace clinicians?
- How technology enabled healthcare solutions will alter reimbursement and revenue models
- Achieving Better Outcomes by implementing technology in healthcare
We post videos of certain podcast episodes, including this episode, which can find on the YouTube Channel.
