DIGITAL DATA FLOWS AND THE HEALTHCARE SERVICE OF THE FUTURE
Healthcare systems around the world face increased demand on health services, causing rising costs. There are many reasons for that: Impact of ageing and sicker societies, rewarding providers for doing more, rather than being efficient, etc.
Digital transformation has great potential to revolutionize healthcare. But even advanced economies are struggling to implement the latest technologies and approaches in their sector. Meanwhile, paper-based processes remain common. Compared to other industries, healthcare is one of the least mature when it comes to digital document management. Yet the potential gains are huge. When data flows digitally, costs fall, while efficiency and quality improves.
