Connected Health

Global healthcare leaders at the #HIMSS21Europe conference have called for the development of self-care apps, the enhancement of digital literacy and the transformation of clinician-patient communication to empower patients.

Other recommendations include boosting local production, promoting research and development, and creating robust quality management maturity.

The result is a single hospital information system for data collection and management, linking medical professionals.

The health system invested heavily last year in telehealth and remote patient monitoring technologies to solve problems of the present and set itself up for the future.

Newly launched ConnectedCare365 offers remote patient monitoring, AI and data analysis tools.

Five analytics companies – Aetion, Flatiron Health, IQVIA, Syapse and Tempus – are joining to advance use of data derived from EHRs, claims and other sources outside of clinical trials.

Benefits of remote patient monitoring to the concierge practice include better experiences for patients, personalized care, rich data and new revenue streams.

Eligible households can receive a $50 monthly reduction on Internet service bills, along with up to $100 to purchase a laptop, desktop or tablet.

The two health giants say they're seeking to expand access to the in-home acute care model and encourage other providers to adopt it.

The federally qualified health center spent a $451,000 FCC telemedicine grant on technologies designed to improve patient care during COVID-19 and beyond.
