Key Steps to Building an Effective Patient-Centric Healthcare System
The healthcare system in the US is complex, incentive driven, and highly fragmented. Poor coordination in a fragmented system has resulted in serious medical errors that have cost lives. Most organizations realize that one way to mitigate such errors is by sharing accurate and up-to-date patient information. Yet, healthcare IT (HIT) systems from different organizations are not integrated, leaving room for gaps in critical information.
To bridge these gaps, the Institute of Medicine (IOM) has drawn up new guidelines for a patient-centric system enabled by the implementation of a connected ecosystem among healthcare organizations.
This webinar, jointly presented by WSO2 and Hospital Corporation of America (HCA), will
- Discuss the benefits of creating a healthcare ecosystem
- The role of technology in healthcare informatics
- How HCA has leveraged healthcare informatics across their nearly 300 facilities that include hospitals and freestanding surgery centers across the US and UK
