Read moreUnderstanding Baumol’s Cost Disease And Its Impact On Healthcare
For anyone who isn’t an economist, it can be challenging to make sense of the dramatic increases in healthcare costs that have occurred since the mid-20th century and why the price of consumer goods has plummeted over the same period. The fact is, some industries don’t follow the expected trajectory of declining costs with greater efficiency, even as technology improves.
Read moreWhen Healthcare Goes Remote, It Should Be For A Reason
Just as my life has been a tale of two worlds, from a childhood in a small Texas town with few prospects to a physician entrepreneur in New York, so has the nature of the market space I work in: telehealth. Pre-pandemic telehealth was successful in bringing big-city medical expertise to small and rural healthcare facilities, mainly because of precisely targeted Medicare reimbursement regulations. Once the rules were relaxed during the public health emergency, there was a 63-fold jump in telehealth visits, most in urban centers.

Read moreThe Truth About AI In Healthcare
In heavily regulated industries such as healthcare, digital innovation can be slow to progress. However, once organizations push towards digital transformation and innovation, the benefits that can be achieved such as revenue growth, patient volume, and cost of care can provide tremendous value. Healthcare organizations are looking for an approach to cost-effective and technically efficient build-out to help on their digital transformation journeys. With investments shifting from core EMRs to infrastructure solutions that enable flexibility and adaptability, healthcare organizations are looking to digital innovation to solve these key issues.

What is it going to take for artificial intelligence companies to succeed in healthcare? While there was fear at the outset of AI “replacing” doctors, the reality has been much different, as companies contend with building digital products in a complicated and highly regulated environment. “We always grab on to the shiny objects and AI may be the latest shiny object that over the next 20 years that is going to have major impact,” Annie Lamont, co-founder and managing partner of Oak HC/FT told the Northwell Health, Aegis Ventures and McKinsey Healthcare Artificial Intelligence Summit in New York City on Tuesday. Today, it’s a piece of a bigger solution for health systems, she said, and often helps with workflow and driving efficiency. The Covid-19 pandemic forced hospitals, notoriously large and slow-moving bureaucracies, to think hard about streamlining operations and the use of automation as they struggled with staffing and other issues. “That will actually propel the use of these kinds of technologies,” she said, adding they won’t stick unless the solution both drives efficiency and helps generate revenue. And the key competitive advantage isn’t necessarily if the backend is superior to anything else on the market. “What will actually get you to win as an AI company [in healthcare] is distribution and adoption,” said Aike Ho, a partner at ACME. “It almost doesn't matter if your tech is the best … whereas so much of the tech generalist land of things, it's about how proprietary is your technology.”
