The Better Outcomes Show
109: Don’t Use Healthcare Technology to Double Down on the Past
Are you using healthcare technology to double down on the past, or are you using it to innovate?
I’ve talked about healthcare technology & innovation on several past episodes of the show. In fact, just recently, I covered some thoughts I have on healthcare technology and pitfalls to avoid in its implementation. However, I recently gave an assessment and documentation seminar at a graduate OT program that prompted me to share s a few thoughts about healthcare technology and what the end goal should be. In short, I want to address the idea that we should avoiding looking to healthcare technology to double down on the past and focus on the opportunities and possibilities that arise from its implementation.
This week, I share some thoughts around healthcare technology and how we should think about using it. Specifically, I share a bit about value based care arrangements, leveraging data to promote cost savings or reductions for both payers and patients, and other tidbits around innovation in healthcare.
What we cover in this Episode:
- Value-Based Reimbursement and leveraging technology to make it possible
- The importance of patient engagement in value-based care
- Leveraging data to improve clinical and financial performance of healthcare organizations
- Using technology to empower clinicians and patients
- Key points to consider when implementing technology in clinical care
- Leveraging technology and innovative thinking to deliver high-value care and services
- Achieving Better Outcomes by leveraging healthcare technology to innovate, not doubling down on business models of the past
We’re starting to create videos of certain podcast episodes, including this episode, which can find on the YouTube Channel.
