PortfolioThe advantages of technology:

Technology is improving medical practice and healthcare services in a number of important ways including

DATA ANALYSIS :- Big data is being collected and analyzed to identify trends and work towards treatments (particularly useful in the case of epidemics).

SELF-DIAGNOSIS:- Through online searches, patients are becoming more educated about illnesses and symptoms, which can lead them to seek more timely treatment.

ELECTRONIC MEDICAL RECORDS:- Patient information is being stored in online data banks, where it can be accessed by a variety of medical professionals to better manage a patient’s treatment.

COMMUNICATION:- Doctors are better able to communicate with one another via video conferencing to discuss medical issues and to communicate with and diagnose patients living in remote areas.

HEALTH WEARABLES:- wearable medical devices that monitor vital signs are being used to manage chronically ill patients and health conscious people are using them to manage their personal fitness and exercise regimes.

Improvements in accuracy

One of the biggest benefits of technology is its ability to improve the level of accuracy in patient information. Unlike the days of scribbled handwritten notes, doctors now type patient records directly into a database where they can be accessed by any authorized person. This is particularly useful in clinics where a patient may not see the same doctor each time they visit.

As well as contributing to a better level of patient care, accurate digital records can also help to protect medical practitioners from erroneous claims of non-compliance, misdiagnoses or malpractice, as a patient’s medical records are the first thing courts examine in such circumstances.

How you can benefit?

• A healthcare organization’s success depends upon timely and accurate flow of patient information and technology can help to make the delivery of health services more efficient through Digital services that provide instant access to a patient’s medical information and help to support early diagnosis and better disease management.

• Communication technologies that allow medical practitioners to confer on the go and staff to communicate seamlessly via email and messaging services.

• Administrative software that automates low priority tasks to speed them up and to reduce the degree of human error.

But technology can only do so much if a healthcare organization is still using inefficient administrative procedures. These need to be addressed first and may include:

POOR DELEGATION:-Medical practitioners spending too much time on tasks that could easily be performed byless qualified staff.

LACK OF PRIORITIZATION:- Bottlenecks resulting from low priority tasks taking precedence over higher priority tasks.

LACK OF FLEXIBILITYfailing to customize processes (i.e. making all appointments the same length, rather thanallowing for different patient needs).

LACK OF OUTSOURCING:-Failure to outsource to outside agencies when there is too much work for available staff(i.e. medical transcription services).Streamlining current administrative procedures and incorporating new technologies willresult in considerable cost savings and create more time for medical professionals tospend with their patients.

Accessible documents

Healthcare providers around the world are realizing the benefits of making medical documents more accessible including:

INCREASED PRODUCTIVITY:-Immediate access to information by all stakeholders can dramatically streamlineworkflows.

GREATER PRIVACY AND SECURITY:-As long as the correct precautions are taken (i.e. encryption and regular backups),electronic records cannot be lost, stolen or destroyed.

IMPROVED CUSTOMER SERVICE:-Electronic records can be easily transferred when a patient changes doctors and can becustomized to incorporate appointment and medication reminders, self-care instructionsand patient education information.

INCREASED PROFITABILITY:-Freeing up more time through greater efficiencies allows for the treatment of morepatients, which equates to more revenue for the practice.

Greater efficiency

So how can you improve efficiency within your medicalorganization using the latest technology?

Firstly, look at the way information is shared by your organization between staff, patientsand other healthcare providers and automate low priority procedures wherever possible (i.e.appointment reminders, inventory, ordering etc).

Then, look at the way you schedule appointments and make educated assumptions about the length of time required, or consider introducing online appointments where time is automatically allocated based on information supplied by patients (i.e. age, general health, the reason for visit etc).

Also look at your accounts receivable department and if payment processes are slow andinefficient, invest in software with features such as the integration of concessions andMedicare rebates, in order to speed up the billing process.

Finally, look at your medical transcription procedures. If they are not being completed in atimely manner or are taking up too much staff time that could be better spent on patientcare, then consider outsourcing to a medical transcription service.
