Technology touches virtually every part of the health care system, and new technologies are revolutionizing how hospitals provide care. This brief takes a closer look into technology-enabled care. It explores key trends, innovations and learnings, and provides considerations for how hospitals can adopt technology that helps them advance their care delivery strategies.
Technology-enabled care refers to digital tools that can strengthen health care delivery. It describes the way health care services, data and information can improve when digital devices and software are embedded into hospitals and health systems’ workflows.1
Both providers and patients can benefit when technology is integrated responsibly and intentionally into care models. Technological advances can help ensure people are getting the right care in the right place at the right time, ultimately improving outcomes and patient experience.
As digital innovations in the health care space are constantly advancing, technology-enabled care will influence the evolution of care delivery. It includes, but is not limited to, artificial intelligence, virtual care, wearables, automation, predictive analytics, sensors, speech recognition, robotics and more.
This brief will focus on three subjects where technology will continue to directly impact how care is delivered:
- Ambient Artificial Intelligence (AI)
- Patient Monitoring
- Telepresence
