Three Strategies to Deliver Patient-Centered Care in the Next NormalHealth Catalyst
Juggling financial demands, uncertain healthcare legislation, and COVID-19 can distract healthcare leaders from the most important aspect of care—patients. Delivering patient-centered care in this volatile market can be challenging, especially when traditional healthcare methods (e.g., in-person visits) are on hold. These sudden disruptions to routine care have highlighted the importance of keeping patients at the center of care, whether care delivery is in-person or virtual. Health systems can manage competing priorities, adjust to pandemic-induced changes, and deliver patient-centered care by focusing on three strategies:
Improve the patient experience.
Implement the Meaningful Measures Initiative.
Transition in-person visits to virtual.
Virtual health is supporting continuing efforts to further humanize health care by extending and expanding the concept of a patient-centric care delivery model into one that is truly life-centric.
Virtual health uses telecommunication and networked technologies to connect clinicians with patients (and with other clinicians) to remotely deliver health care services and support well-being. For providers, committing to virtual health at a personal and organizational level affords ever-increasing opportunities to deliver the right care at the right time in the right place, in a connected and coordinated manner.
By strengthening and facilitating a therapeutic alliance between clinicians and patients, virtual health is an important step on our continuous journey to humanize health care. It works within and around a patient’s life, as opposed to their sickness, to deliver care when, where, and how they need and want it. Also, virtual health works its way into consumers’ daily routines by being embedded in electronic devices associated with living life (e.g., smartphones and personal computers) more so than caring for sickness.
The healthcare industry is primed for expanded adoption of virtual health; a 2016 report estimated that the US virtual health market will reach $3.5 billion in revenues by 2022. Several factors are elevating stakeholder interest, including expected physician shortages, continued growth in digital technologies, changing reimbursement models, increasing consumer demand, and the evolving regulatory landscape. One game-changer: Today, nine in 10 American adults use the internet, giving clinicians the capability and flexibility to communicate with and serve health care consumers via the web.

Medical Technology Tackles New Health Care Demand - Research Report - March 2...pchutichetpong
M Capital Group (“MCG”) predicts that with, against, despite, and even without the global pandemic, the medical technology (MedTech) industry shows signs of continuous healthy growth, driven by smaller, faster, and cheaper devices, growing demand for home-based applications, technological innovation, strategic acquisitions, investments, and SPAC listings. MCG predicts that this should reflects itself in annual growth of over 6%, well beyond 2028.
According to Chris Mouchabhani, Managing Partner at M Capital Group, “Despite all economic scenarios that one may consider, beyond overall economic shocks, medical technology should remain one of the most promising and robust sectors over the short to medium term and well beyond 2028.”
There is a movement towards home-based care for the elderly, next generation scanning and MRI devices, wearable technology, artificial intelligence incorporation, and online connectivity. Experts also see a focus on predictive, preventive, personalized, participatory, and precision medicine, with rising levels of integration of home care and technological innovation.
The average cost of treatment has been rising across the board, creating additional financial burdens to governments, healthcare providers and insurance companies. According to MCG, cost-per-inpatient-stay in the United States alone rose on average annually by over 13% between 2014 to 2021, leading MedTech to focus research efforts on optimized medical equipment at lower price points, whilst emphasizing portability and ease of use. Namely, 46% of the 1,008 medical technology companies in the 2021 MedTech Innovator (“MTI”) database are focusing on prevention, wellness, detection, or diagnosis, signaling a clear push for preventive care to also tackle costs.
In addition, there has also been a lasting impact on consumer and medical demand for home care, supported by the pandemic. Lockdowns, closure of care facilities, and healthcare systems subjected to capacity pressure, accelerated demand away from traditional inpatient care. Now, outpatient care solutions are driving industry production, with nearly 70% of recent diagnostics start-up companies producing products in areas such as ambulatory clinics, at-home care, and self-administered diagnostics.
Health Education on prevention of hypertensionRadhika kulvi
Hypertension is a chronic condition of concern due to its role in the causation of coronary heart diseases. Hypertension is a worldwide epidemic and important risk factor for coronary artery disease, stroke and renal diseases. Blood pressure is the force exerted by the blood against the walls of the blood vessels and is sufficient to maintain tissue perfusion during activity and rest. Hypertension is sustained elevation of BP. In adults, HTN exists when systolic blood pressure is equal to or greater than 140mmHg or diastolic BP is equal to or greater than 90mmHg. The
The dimensions of healthcare quality refer to various attributes or aspects that define the standard of healthcare services. These dimensions are used to evaluate, measure, and improve the quality of care provided to patients. A comprehensive understanding of these dimensions ensures that healthcare systems can address various aspects of patient care effectively and holistically. Dimensions of Healthcare Quality and Performance of care include the following; Appropriateness, Availability, Competence, Continuity, Effectiveness, Efficiency, Efficacy, Prevention, Respect and Care, Safety as well as Timeliness.

3. INTRODUCTION
• The advanced digital technology is raising
exponentially, and its cost is becoming more
affordable.
• The need for more cost-effective healthcare also
rising. Now more than ever, healthcare authorities
need to adopt new technologies that help to meet the
demand.
• So health provision and care coordination is becoming
a core skill needed across the nursing profession.
• Technology Enabled Care is now seen as a fundamental
part of the solution to solve many healthcare challenges.
4.
5. What is TEC ?
Technology Enabled Care is defined
as “where outcomes for individuals in
home or community settings are improved
through the application of technology
(such as Near Me) as an integral part of
quality, cost effective care and support to
look after more people at home”.
6. AIMS OF TECS
To provide the quality of cost-effective care and support to the
individuals
To improve outcomes for individuals in home or community
settings.
To enhance the application of technology as an integral part of
the care and support process
9. COMPONENTS OF TECS
There are various modes for providing TECS, ie, through
telecare, telehealth and telemedicine/ teleconsultation and
self care apps.
Utilising available technologies reduces NHS costs by enabling
people to live independently and safely in their own homes for
longer. Let’s take a better look into the different technologies
that make up TECS.
10. TELECARE
Telecare is the most common form of TECS and covers the
essential requirements for caring for vulnerable individuals. The basic
equipment starts with a personal alarm usually worn around the neck or
wrist. Depending on the complexity of the individuals needs, other
peripheral sensors such as bed mats, PIR’s and fall detectors can also be
provided. These sensors give an overall view of daily activities and in
some cases can act as prevention systems.
11. TELEHEALTH
Telehealth uses devices to monitor vital signs in the comfort
of your own home. Consequently, this is ideal for patients with long term
conditions. Daily data is collected from the do it yourself style kits such as
blood pressure monitors and the results analysed. Therefore, this remote
exchange of data between a clinician and a patient at home can reduce the
amount of required hospital visits.
12. TELEMEDICINE
Telemedicine, it’s like having a doctor in your front
room! Specialist apps or software transform smart device and
TV’s into video call devices which allows you to speak with a
doctor from anywhere.
13. TRANSFORMING HEALTHCARE WITH
TECHNOLOGY-ENABLED CARE
• Connected health or technology-enabled care (TEC) is the collective term
used for telecare, telehealth, telemedicine, mHealth, digital health, and
eHealth services. TEC is now seen as a fundamental part of the solution to
solve many healthcare challenges.
• TEC helps people self-manage their health and wellbeing, alert healthcare
professionals in case of any changes.
• It also helps clinicians and care providers deliver more efficient and cost-
effective care.
• Digital technology is advancing exponentially, and its cost is becoming
more affordable. The need for more cost-effective healthcare is rising.
Now more than ever, healthcare authorities need to adopt new
technologies to help meet this demand.
15. HOW CAN TECS SUPPORT INTEGRATED
HEALTH AND SOCIAL CARE?
TECS supports an individual’s health and social care needs from birth to death. It can enable
providers across the health and social care system to give better access to care, improve
communication, and enhance teamwork and efficiency. It can also support self-care.

design, and data protection by default, once the planned data
protection regulation is adopted
• Give patients control over their own data, specifically the kind of
information he/she wants to share, while maintaining the right not

56. THE ACTIONS SUGGESTED BY STAKEHOLDERS FOR
OVERCOMING BARRIERS(CONTINUATION)
• Develop binding rules on the delineation between lifestyle and
wellbeing apps and clarify rules for when an app is a medical
device and how these differences should be regulated
• Gather evidence on the economic benefits and involve hcps,
patients and carers in co-designing solutions
• Develop new business models, as most mobile technology
services are not reimbursed in many EU countries nor is there a
specific budget for it
• Help entrepreneurs access the healthcare

60. CONCLUSION
The Technology Enabled Care Services Resource for
Commissioners has been developed by NHS commissioners to
identify practical tools that can help maximise the value of
technology enabled care services for patients, carers,
commissioners and the whole health economy. Technology has
the power to radically transform the way we deliver healthcare
by enabling all patients to take a more active role in their own
health and increase prevention through supported self-care.
