Intelligent Health Care: Concentrating On The Individual
Healthcare payers, providers and researchers gravitate toward driving efficiencies through their network of complex, fragmented systems and facilities, with lessening focus on the needs of the individual patient. Migrating toward an individual-focused operation, as a growing number of healthcare organizations are doing, builds on these sought-after efficiencies with benefits for all constituents:
- Patients become more pro-active in their care in treatment with access to current, comprehensive information, improving their overall health
- Payers reduce costs and premiums with information-driven efficiencies
- Providers improve the quality and safety of clinical practices with better access to knowledge and improved decision making.
Business Objects and IBM teamed to produce this informative white paper on the growing trend toward individualized healthcare and the benefits to payers, providers and researchers. The whitepaper discusses:
- What is individual-focused, or patient-centric health care?
- Why are payers, providers and researchers gravitating toward individual-centric health care?
- Benefits and challenges of an individual-focused healthcare organization versus traditional facilities and systems-driven operations
- The role of information in individual-focused heath care, including integrated business intelligence systems and their role in driving efficiencies with patient care, provider operations and clinical research operations.
