Benefits For Healthcare Industry

Improved Care Coordination
Improving coordination has been a focus of healthcare for some time, being a cornerstone of The Joint Commission’s National Patient Safety Goals program and part of meaningful use attestation. Despite receiving increased attention, care coordination, particularly during transitions of care, continues to challenge organizations, leading to substandard care quality and safety.

We have launched a variety of solutions in response to the growing demand for assistance with care transitions. Some of these technologies are standalone systems and apps developed specifically to aid in the transition of care while others are packaged in with other offerings to assist in addressing broader issues, such as communication, education, and medication adherence.

Improved Patient Education
Not too long ago, patient education relied primarily on written materials about disease processes, medication, medical management, and self-care instruction guidelines. Today, the Internet and mobile technology have made health information available to patients anywhere. innovations in telemedicine now make it possible for patients to access a care professional whenever they need one. New education formats, such as interactive walkthroughs, educational videos, and text reminders, give patients options through which they can consume health information and become more engaged in their care.

Improved Population Health Management
Population health is a relatively new concept and can be defined as “the health outcome of a group of individuals, including the distribution of such outcomes within the group.

Recent innovations in technology help collect and analyze large amounts of patient data to drive improvements in population health initiatives. In a previous post, we discussed the potential application that blockchain has in healthcare. From a population health perspective, blockchain has the potential to allow every patient to easily and securely share their health information anywhere they go, providing health systems and health information exchanges with the accurate information they need to better assess and improve the health of populations.

Automation
Among the most admired benefits of IT solutions is the automation options they provide. Simple Mind strives to assist the medical institution in achieving this feat. Simple Mind builds custom telehealth software solutions to deliver remote health services, education, and training for improved efficiency and quality of care.
