Health and care: prepare for a healthy tomorrow

Tackle today's challenges and prepare for a healthy tomorrow

As a (health-)care provider, your mission is crystal clear: delivering the best possible health outcomes and care. However, just like in every hospital, nursing home or other care organization, reality strikes back, with staffing issues, budget cuts, rising costs, and consumers pushing for value. Is there a recipe to do more with less? Does (health)care delivery need a recalibration? Here’s how delaware helps every player in the health and care ecosystem prepare for a new, healthy tomorrow.

Meeting rapidly growing demand

As the population is aging, the number of people seeking (health-)care increases rapidly. Moreover, due to age, lifestyle factors and our living environment, more patients are experiencing multiple chronic conditions and mental illness, which further drives the complexity of care.  

Attracting and retaining talent

Time constraints and pressure have led to low job satisfaction and well-being among healthcare workers, resulting in high staff turnover, burnout, and vacancies. The number of (health)care workers declines exponentially, posing risks to patient safety and outcomes.

Meeting consumers’ soaring demand for value

Patients and their families are more informed and empowered than ever. They expect outstanding health and care experiences with convenience, personalized care across the patient journey and the best outcomes. Moreover, the value-based care model is just around the corner.  

Coping with tight budgets and rising costs

With margin pressures and rising costs in labor, pharmaceuticals, and other areas, the health and care sector faces financial stress. At the same time, the competition is increasing, with patients choosing alternate sites of care if your offering does not meet their needs.  

Opportunities, spurred by technology

Amid these daunting challenges, however, lies opportunity. Embracing technology and data insights and joining forces with other organizations in the healthcare ecosystem will help you mitigate risks. 

Hospital groups are increasingly joining forces to broaden their expertise and offering and to benefit from economies of scale. More than that, forward-looking care providers are forging partnerships in the broader healthcare ecosystem to provide patients with end-to-end care packages beyond the four walls of a hospital or care center. Trust, collaboration, and communications will be a must to facilitate the healthcare ecosystem that patients and consumers are expecting.
AI can make health and care more affordable by automating routine tasks and boosting productivity. As it lets staff focus on patient care, AI improves both patient and employee well-being, and new insights will even enable hyper-personalized care. In addition, AI supports the shift from treatment to preventive care, enabling remote patient monitoring and allowing consumers to track their own health status and act where needed.
Hospitals produce massive amounts of data. 80% of that data, however, remains unused. Digitalization can help manage and unlock it, turning it into insights that improve the quality of care. In addition, real-time insights will help health and care providers cut costs and improve business decision-making – to become leaner, future-proof organizations.
