Exploring the possibilities of a new healthcare.

Let’s get real: Healthcare is broken. You know it. I know it. Every clinician who came into this field from a desire to care for others, knows this to be undeniably true. We feel it everyday when we enter our clinics, hospitals, and practices. We feel the burden of time-based productivity metrics, utilization rates, and the expectation to behave like cogs in a giant, soul-crushing machine aimed at extracting revenue from our patients in exchange for “units” of treatment.

Healthcare should be about one thing: PEOPLE! Yet how many clinics, organizations, or healthcare professionals live their lives by the numbers? Metrics & spreadsheets drive most of our healthcare decision makers and administrators. That leaves patients -the people we serve- lost in the mix. Patient’s feel lost, forgotten, and ignored by a system that prioritizes efficiency & productivity over their own personal experiences, priorities, or goals.

It’s time for clinicians to finally stand up and say what we’ve all been thinking for so long: enough is enough!

It’s time for healthcare organizations to commit to serving the individual needs of each unique patient that they are charged with serving.

Join Rafael E. Salazar II, MHS, OTR/L (Rafi), principal of Rehab U Practice Solutions and host of The Better Outcomes Show as he explores the possibilities of a new healthcare. Guests range from clinicians trying new techniques and treatments to executives and entrepreneurs exploring new service delivery methods, business models, and organizational structures.

144: Technology Enabled Healthcare

How do we begin implementing technology-enabled healthcare services?

We cover this topic a lot on the show, but technology-enabled healthcare continues to receive a lot of attention. Much of the conversation and media around technology and healthcare innovation revolves around the innovation itself. We hear about the benefits, features, and capabilities of these new solutions and innovations. But, one often overlooked topic in healthcare innovation includes practical implementation. How do you actually take these new innovations and tools and use them to meaningfully improve healthcare? How do we make sure that a new software, device, or platform ends up actually making healthcare better, rather than just a neat marketing ploy?

So, this week, I dive into the research around technology-enabled healthcare. Parts of this podcast come from a few different presentations I've recently given on this topic covering digital health, implementing virtual healthcare services, and using data in healthcare decision-making.

What we cover in this Episode:

-Define digital health & virtual service delivery
-Applying digital health tools in clinical practice
-Research around digital health and its effectiveness
-Remote Patient Monitoring and Telehealth
-Will artificial intelligence replace clinicians?
-How technology enabled healthcare solutions will alter reimbursement and revenue models
-Achieving Better Outcomes by implementing technology in healthcare
