“Healthcare consumers, providers and payers are embracing the transformational power of technology, and it’s paying off in unprecedented efficiency and effectiveness across the care ecosystem,” Accenture reports.
Indeed, in their new survey of doctors, consumers and healthcare executives, the Accenture 2015 Healthcare IT Vision reveals five key trends. Writes Accenture: “These trends clearly prove that digital is dramatically influencing the industry today, and it will continue to do so for decades to come.”
These trends are clearly described by HIT Consultant:
- The Internet of Me: Your healthcare, personalized Welcome to the era of personalized healthcare defined by meaningful and convenient individual health experiences.
- Outcome Economy: Hardware producing healthy results New intelligence is bridging the digital enterprise and the physical world. It’s about more than technology; it’s about delivering results.
- Platform Revolution: Defining ecosystems, redefining healthcare Healthcare IT platforms capture data from disparate sources (e.g., wearables, phones, glucometers), and connect it to provide patients and caregivers a holistic and real-time view of your health.
- Intelligent Enterprise: Huge data, smarter systems, better healthcare A data explosion, accompanied by advances in processing power, health analytics and cognitive technology, is fueling software intelligence. Medical devices and wearables can now recognize, “think” and respond accordingly.
- Workforce Reimagined: Collaboration at the intersection of humans and healthcare As the digital revolution gains momentum, doctors and healthcare workers are now using machines to be more efficient, provide better care and take on increasingly more complex tasks.
