Technology in Healthcare Practices offers Clinical, Quality and Financial Telehealth Benefits
Through population health solutions, artificial intelligence, and newly expanded telehealth benefits and offerings, healthcare stakeholders are better able to achieve triple-aim goals with increased access to care, reduced readmissions and transfers, improved care coordination, and more efficient clinical workflows. The adoption of new telehealth technology is playing an increasingly vital role in the future of healthcare practices.
These technological advancements have the potential to deliver telehealth benefits that improve patient outcomes while significantly decreasing the overall cost of care.
- According to the Certification Commission of Healthcare Information Technology, it is estimated that about 50 percent of healthcare finances are wasted due to inefficient processes.
- Empowering providers with new communications tools can lead to increased efficiency and improved care coordination at a lower cost.
- New advances in care delivery models such as eConsults allow providers to have immediate access to the necessary information to treat their patients without the constraints of physical location. eConsults allow providers to connect with specialists to collaborate on treatment plans, all within the primary care setting.
