Why the Digital-First, Patient-Centered Care Is Critical to Healthcare

In the turmoil of one of the hardest years the healthcare industry has experienced, many healthcare organizations innovated nearly overnight, transforming bedside tablets into virtual care providers and parking garages into field hospitals.

Providers can evolve care models for individual patients, particularly those with chronic conditions. Any number of technologies can help the patient, including end-user computing. This technology can be personalized for the incoming patient, and then the device can be wiped clean and secured for the next patient afterward.

With telehealth, patients no longer must drive 45 minutes to the doctor and then wait a half-hour in the waiting room for a visit lasting only several minutes.

Technology allows the healthcare provider to reach into areas they may not have been able to before. Patients who have difficulty making it into the office can receive care. Those with chronic conditions can be monitored closely.
