DIGITALIZATION TRANSFORMING HEALTHCARE SECTOR Dr. Shweta Mishra BNYS COURSE , IMS, BHU
• ABSTRACT: Digitalization in Healthcare industry has immense potentialities in aspect of providing easy, door step and effective healthcare to the needy. It cuts down the tedious process of waiting to see a glimpse of the healthcare provider. Digital opportunities pave way to explore and monitor their own health very closely, which is very satisfying and has a great value in treatment process and prognosis. Not only that patient can understand the problems he is facing; whereas he can closely monitor the treatments administered and whereby can be an active participant in monitoring his own health. This care improves the value of patient makes healthcare easily accessible, fair, increases the result of therapy, provides integrated data and decreases cost. KEYWORDS: Records, integrated data, patient centric, proactive healthcare, homecare scenario, value based care, personalized care, digital transformation, EHR, IoT, Cloud computing, accessibility, connectedness, online consultation, digitalization.
• Digital healthcare network allows the data to be accessible anywhere and everywhere which reduces the repetition, minimises faults, and makes the information complete and useful when required. Different apps are designed to safely & effectively store the data and personalize it. The Electronic health record (EHR), Cloud computing and IoT are effective tools which help in regulating the monitoring data online through smart phones & by office of the physician to provide immediate medical care, online consultation and advise; this all being possible by the degree of connectedness with the provider. Physicians thus need not depend solely on the information provided by the patient. It brings healthcare to be patient centric. This digital transformation provides infinite opportunities to patients and the healthcare providers.
o Improving the quality of healthcare. o Improving access to healthcare. o Controlling costs. o As populations age and grow, life expectancy increases and expenditure on healthcare is on a hike. MAIN CHALLENGES OF HEALTHCARE ORGANIZATIONS ACROSS GLOBE
• The traditional paper based records keep health at stake due to: a) Bad handwriting b) Incompleteness of data c) Wrong location/ misinterpretation d) Difficult to store e) With increase in population increased medical errors and increased healthcare cost This leads to Errors and Lack of information. NEEDFORDIGITALIZATION
• The way the healthcare is organized is different across the globe. • The healthcare organizations are moving at different speeds, depending on – i) Country ii) Legal framework iii) Political agenda iv) Individual organization v) Role in the healthcare ecosystem vi) Precise goals of digital transformation within each individual context: a) from enhancing patient-centric approach in hospitals b) Improving workforce conditions to new ways of care, for instance remote health monitoring by leveraging -  Cloud computing  IoT DIGITAL TRANSFORMATION
Healthcare providers adopt EHR (Electronic health record) systems for typical digital transformation purposes in healthcare i.e:  Enhanced patient care  Improving efficiency  Improve patient safety  Designed to prevent and treat the disease  Easy access to information  Saving time  Minimizing (the risk of) errors  Improving staff productivity  Integration of data ELECTRONIC HEALTHRECORD
• An Electronic Health Record (EHR) is an electronic version of a patients medical history. • It include all of the key administrative clinical data relevant to that persons care under a particular provider. • It including demographics, personal information, medical reports, progress notes, problems, medications, vital signs, past medical history, immunizations, laboratory data and reports . ELECTRONIC HEALTHRECORD
 The EHR automates access to information and streamline the clinician's workflow.  Provides patient centered approach  The EHR also has the ability to support other care-related activities directly or indirectly through various interfaces, including evidence- based decision support, quality management and outcomes reporting.  EHRs are the next step in the continued progress of healthcare that can strengthen the relationship between patients and clinicians.  The data, and the timeliness and availability of it, will enable providers to make better decisions and provide better care.  Supports medical tourism  Provides homecare scenario; i.e the living room can be the care venu.  Provides data security and privacy. BENEFITOFEHR:
For example, the EHR can improve patient care by:  Reducing the incidence of medical error by improving the accuracy and clarity of medical records.  Making the health information available  Reducing duplication of tests  Reducing delays in treatment  Keeps patients well informed to take better decisions.  Reducing medical error by improving the accuracy and clarity of medical records.
• Digital transformation helps the Health care workers and professionals to do what their task of helping people efficiently. • It provides a value based care i.e increases patient value and decreases cost. • Provides one data base to answer all the questions without missing any information at the first instance itself. • Makes better, fair, accessible healthcare a reality. • Brings a connected care approach (Mobile apps, online data, networking) • Fast and timely monitoring ensures health and long life. ASPECTSOFDIGITAL TRANSFORMATIONIN HEALTHCARE
• Providing greater healthcare and leverage to technology. • Online consultation; help to save time and let patient decide what kind of care is best suited for him. • Makes healthcare accountable, knowledgeable, network sharing; thus increasing result of therapy and cut down unnecessary cost. • A very personalized medical approach to care to improve efficacy and patient outcomes. • Vast amount of data availability makes accessible & easy research work and decision making; also helps predictive analysis and acceptance of new therapy.
• Healthcare digitalization is made more glorifying by companies : Apple and google • Prepared to leverage digital technology in health industry. • Keeps patient more connected to capture data and get benefit. CONTRIBUTIONOF APPLE&GOOGLE
Eg: FITNESS TRACKING DEVICES- to monitor daily health, digitalize diet, lifestyle honestly. • Apple watch • Depression-fighting Apple Watch app • Health Kit by apple • Google fit • Connected contact lenses: Google's smart lens technology which involves non-invasive sensors embedded within contact lenses. The lenses may eventually be able to measure glucose levels of diabetes patients via their tears and then store the information in a mobile device
IoT (Internet of things) • People can enjoy personalized attention for their health requirements: They can tune their devices to remind them of their: a) Appointments b) Calorie count c) Exercise check d) Blood pressure variations etc.
1. REAL TIME LOCATION SERVICES- • Through IoT, doctors can use real time location services and track the devices used for treating patients. Medical staff may sometimes keep the devices in out-of-sight areas which makes them difficult to find when another medical staff comes on the scene. • eg: Medical apparatus and devices like wheelchairs, scales, nebulizers, pumps or monitoring equipment can be tagged with sensors and located easily with IoT.

This would prevent hospital acquired infections. The interactions in the hand hygiene monitoring systems are done in real time and if a clinician comes near a patient’s bed without washing his hands, the device would start buzzing.
3. Improve Patient Journey • Update infrastructure to provide better patient experiences. • IoT has made possible for the medical staff to access patient information from the cloud as long as they are stored in there. • The goal is to provide quality medical care to patients, and by spending a small amount on IT infrastructure, hospitals can provide good care to patients at affordable rates. • IoT aims to provide better patient journey by: Room lighting through personal control Communicate to family and friends through email services Immediate attention to patient needs
4. Remote Monitoring • Remote health monitoring is an important application of Internet Of Things. Through monitoring, you can give adequate healthcare to people who are in dire need of help. Every day, lots of people die because they do not get timely and prompt medical attention. With IoT, devices fitted with sensors notify the concerned healthcare providers when there is any change in the vital functions of a person. • The collected patient information would be stored in cloud. Through remote monitoring, patients can significantly reduce the length of hospital stay and perhaps, even hospital re-admission. • This kind of intervention is a boon to people living alone, especially seniors. If there is any interruption in the daily activity of a person, alerts would be sent to family members and concerned health providers. These monitoring devices are available in the form of “wearables” too. •
CONCLUSION: • Improving diagnostics and adherence • The concept of the connected human being given personalised care and improved diagnostics. • Since wearable entered the market, the idea of ongoing measurement has become a reality. • The Smartphone now gives the prospect of reliable access to patient data in the real world.
• However, it's worth pointing out that a big wave of extra data doesn't necessarily represent a panacea. The fully quantified self has many ethical and privacy concerns • Delivering visibility across supply chain. • Digital technology driving value generation with innovation. • Digital healthcare offers infinite possibilities. • Key role of digital technology is in bringing solution from home.
