According to the Commonwealth Fund, an organization that supports independent research on healthcare, the US spends nearly 18% of GDP on health care, yet Americans die younger and are less healthy than residents of other high-income countries. Healthcare providers are taking action to improve outcomes,engaging and empowering patients through the power of technology. But while innovation is driving transformation, providers remain burdened by fragmented operating systems and industry consolidation. 

Making core systems more secure, digitizing processes and unifying disparate data can lead to better outcomes for both patients and providers. Advanced technologies such as AI are being used to provide test results, analyze histories and deliver the evidence needed to make better decisions for patients. Digitization is also helping health and care professionals communicate better and enabling patients to access the care they need quickly, easily and at a time that suits them. 

This webinar – hosted by the Financial Times in partnership with Infosys – explored the changing operational and regulatory landscape in which healthcare organisations now function. It looked at patients’ growing expectations of healthcare providers and will examine the role that technology can play in improving decision-making and boosting productivity. The discussion also considered how to drive operational efficiencies while delivering on expectations of access to high-quality, affordable care.
