Patient care demands are at an all-time high, but the healthcare
GE HealthCare aims to not only make data patient-centric, but to ensure it is delivered to the right clinician at the right time. Data must be integrated in a meaningful way to avoid cognitive overload, but it must also be tailored to specific use cases. More information isn't the answer—turning data into insights is.
Innovations in health care technologies are generally accompanied with new clinical data. In many instances, this increases the data available to providers at the point of care. While the intent of sharing new data is to support clinical decision making, it has the potential to create ‘noise’ given the volume of data care providers must process minute-by-minute. This ‘noise’ can have the opposite effect of what is intended by saturating the provider’s cognitive resources. As health care technology designers seek to optimize the usability of new technologies, they must help convert clinical data into actionable insights and reduce the cognitive burden placed on care
Effective longitudinal care depends on having a holistic view of the patient across their care journey. While advances in healthcare technology continue to generate new and meaningful longitudinal care data points, bringing those data together from a disparate collection of devices and systems into a single view and unlocking patient-centric insights is key. To mine these insights, healthcare technology partners must continue innovating beyond interoperability and bidirectional data sharing.
Increasingly, care delivery models seek to optimize the balance of in-hospital and out-of-hospital care. Shifting a greater proportion of the care journey out-of-hospital is intended to manage stresses placed on the health care system caused by increased patient complexity, the rising cost of care, and staffing shortages.
We discuss the economic impacts of perioperative resource utilization and how implementing perioperative care pathways can reduce hospital stays, lower costs, and improve patient outcomes.
In this 3rd installment on the topic of SPI, Dr. Robert Bilkovski and will look into the stress hormone response associated with surgery.
