HP Presents: What’s up Doc? Empowering Patient First Care Teams on the New Frontier of Care Delivery

HIMSSCast

The 2020s mark the transition to digital-first healthcare. By 2023,

65% of patients worldwide will have accessed care through a

digital front door as healthcare providers look for better ways to

improve access, engagement, and experiences across all

services. As such, the rapid adoption of virtual reality, 3D print, telehealth,

artificial intelligence (AI), microfluidics and other innovative

technologies are enabling healthcare providers and patients to

access their information conveniently and in real time. Such digital

enabled technologies are supporting care coordination across the

care continuum, connecting providers and patients, and bringing

care to patients when and where it is needed. However, this rapid

march to digital transformation has also shone a harsh spotlight on

the digital divide in healthcare. According to the Pew Research

Center, nearly 1 in 8 Americans lives in poverty, with low-income

individuals having lower rates of smartphone ownership (71%),

home broadband access (59%), Internet use (82%), and basic

digital literacy (53%).

Listen in as Fran Ayalasomayajula, HP’s Head of Digital Strategies

and Daniel Colling, Global Head of Healthcare Solutions and

Practice talk about patient-first technology innovations ranging from

VR, 3D Print and AI to Hospital at Home, Point-of-Care Diagnostics

and Intelligent Care Coordination. In this episode, we’ll explore

what happens when such technologies are developed and

intentionally implemented with these communities in mind. This will

be an engaging discussion on the new frontier of care delivery, one

that brings all providers and patients together and has a positive

impact on patient outcomes.
