'Patient Care Technology and its Impact on the Post-pandemic Healthcare Sector' by ITRexGroup healthcaretech medicaltechnology
The issues are coupled with the rising healthcare spendings. Although healthcare spendings dropped to a historical minimum at the beginning of the COVID-19 outbreak, the effects of the pandemic are predicted to be short-term. Experts projectOther cost-related reasons contributing to fewer people accessing healthcare and more healthcare providers turning to patient care technology include changes in personal income, expenses, and debt, which are caused mainly by COVID-19.
For ages, the healthcare sector has been more provider-centric rather than patient-centric. Such an approach characterized by rigid manual workflows has led to weeks-long insurance claims processing and disproportionately long wait times between appointments and actual visits. A recent study published inproves: the wait times at private-sector hospitals range from 16.5 days in New York City to 57.33 days in Boston, Massachusetts.
US health policy experts believe that COVID-19 accelerated innovation in healthcare by nearly a decade, facilitating broader adoption of patient care technology and speeding up technology advances in nursing. The initial reasons behind such a swift mindset shift and unpredictably high patient care technology implementation rates — in April 2020, overall tech utilization for office visits and outpatient care wasthan in February 2020 — was bound to tame the COVID-19 emergency. The peak of the crisis left behind, the adoption rates are still high.
