Healthcare Is A Finite Commodity: How Providers Can Differentiate Themselves

For decades, the U.S. has wrestled with a paradox within healthcare: We spend twice as much as comparable countries on health yet rank last among peers in health outcomes. A major question underpinning that dilemma is the nature of healthcare in this country: Is it a right of every citizen, and therefore, an expense that’s covered by the government, or is it a privilege exclusively for those wealthy enough to afford it?

How Patients Are Driving The Future Of Healthcare

President and CEO of Vodafone US Inc., leading Vodafone Business commercial operations throughout North America. Woman at home having online consultation with doctor GETTY According to a recent study by Deloitte, patients are the main drivers of seismic change within the healthcare industry. The shorthand term for the phenomenon is the “consumerization of healthcare” — a patient-centric care model that’s pervasive across all geographies and socioeconomic groups. Healthcare transformation calls for SaaS apps and the cloud, but it also goes further: With IoT sensors, caregivers can monitor patient progress while they are at home. Additionally, wireless technologies such as 5G and edge computing can deliver next-generation features, such as connected ambulances that allow first responders to keep close, real-time contact with doctors in the emergency rooms. With the right technology in place, expertise at one facility could also be shared with another. With remote participation in surgery, or real-time teaching, a student miles away from a particular operating theater can get a sense they are in the thick of it, virtually standing by the surgeon’s side while the operation proceeds. Investment in digital infrastructure for these kinds of actions began even before the onset of the global pandemic. Lately, however, this drive has snowballed significantly. Patients are demanding improved, personalized care. According to a study by JPMorgan Chase, U.S.-based patients — facing increases in out-of-pocket spending — are increasingly expecting a better experience from the medical ecosystem. In short, they want their money’s worth.

Breaking The Rules Of Healthcare: Paying Your Doctor

Female senior doctor welcoming / greeting mother and daughter at hospital American medicine has a money problem. But not the kind most people are talking about. Patient problems went from mostly acute and unexpected (think: broken bones and appendicitis) to predominantly chronic (heart disease, arthritis, diabetes and so on). As medical problems got more complicated, treatments became more sophisticated and wildly expensive. With the rise of for-profit insurance and “managed care” in the late 20th-century, doctors were driven to see more patients per day—spending up to half those visits on the computer for insurance and billing purposes. As a result, the relationship between patients and doctors changed and not for the better.
