5 key benefits of a clinical communication and collaboration platform
Healthcare in the United States has been an industry in turmoil for decades, long before the onslaught of COVID-19. In its most recent data, The Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) pinpointed healthcare expenditures at 17.7% of the GDP for 2019—$11,582 per person—up 4.6% from 2018. The Peter G. Peterson Foundation states per-capita U.S. healthcare spending is nearly three times the average of other developed countries. But out-of-control costs aren’t the only issue. Inefficient processes, poor communications, too much complicated technology to learn and maintain, and staff shortages are all major issues.
Fortunately, the news isn’t all bad. Organizations are now beginning to assess what they’ve learned and how to pivot their processes, infrastructure, and assumptions to improve care both during the later stages of the pandemic and beyond. Innovative technology will play a central role in leading hospitals and health systems out of the pandemic tunnel, giving them the tools necessary for widescale improvements over the long term. In fact, clinicians are hungry for change.
