Navigating Healthcare: Trends and Insights
Personalized Care and Medicine
As patient-centered care becomes more popular, healthcare providers must deliver care tailored to each patient based on their unique health information, preferences, and needs. This personalized approach can help achieve better outcomes for patients, reduce healthcare costs, and build stronger relationships between healthcare providers and patients.
Biomarker testing, another emerging trend, can support personalized care. For example, biomarker testing can be used to look at a cancer patient’s proteins, genes, and other biomarkers to help determine specific care that is most likely to improve the patient’s health. Biomarkers are also used during drug and therapy development to make more personalized medicine. Personalizing medicine to a patient’s specific condition and needs can help make the treatment more effective.
Flexibility in Access to Care
With the rise of telehealth during COVID-19, we’ve seen how access to care can be improved by offering a variety of options for patients. Looking ahead, we expect to see continued flexibility in how people can access care, including in-person care, telehealth options, mobile clinics, and even at-home care options like at-home diagnostic testing, self-monitoring solutions, at-home treatment, and prescription delivery services.
Wearable Devices
Wearable devices help patients take a more active role in their own healthcare. Wearables can monitor a person’s heart rate, blood pressure, sleep quality, physical activity, and more, helping the individual better understand their habits and health. This data could also be shared with the person’s healthcare providers, so they too have a better view of their patient’s health.
Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning
Artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML) have a variety of use cases in healthcare, such as analyzing a patient’s medical history and predicting the onset of diseases and other health issues. This allows healthcare providers to make data-driven clinical decisions and create personalized treatment plans for each patient, helping to improve outcomes. AI can also be used to streamline operations at healthcare facilities by making healthcare professionals more efficient.
Value-based Care
In a value-based care model, healthcare providers’ pay is affected by the outcomes they achieve for their patients, rather than simply the services they provide. The goal of value-based care is to provide higher quality care and achieve better outcomes for patients, while also making care more cost effective.
Preventative Care
Preventative care strives to prevent illness rather than just treating it once it arises. This approach enables providers to create care plans that are personalized to each patient, helping to prevent diseases and other illnesses they’re at the highest risk of developing. By helping patients stay healthier, preventative care also helps reduce healthcare costs.
Improved Healthcare Data Management
There’s a lot of healthcare data out there, and not a lot of ways to easily access and analyze it. Clinicians need tools that will help them see, understand, and share data with the appropriate people so they can make informed decisions and improve care. Looking ahead, we expect to see new technologies and connected workflows that allow healthcare data to be used across different health systems and on different devices.
