Conclusion<\/strong> <\/h3>\n\n\n\nEcosystems can act as a powerful force in reshaping and disrupting industries. The healthcare ecosystem has tremendous potential to do so and could lead to improved health outcomes and affordability by delivering a personalized, intuitive, and integrated patient experience. In addition, providers can enhance productivity and engage with a broad set of healthcare facilities.\u202f <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
What is Industry 4.0? Industry 4.0 is the fourth industrial revolution! It is helping automate businesses and making processes more efficient. The third industrial revolution was focused on switching mechanical and analog processes to digital ones. The fourth focuses on the impact of digital technologies by making machines self-sufficient and capable of human-machine interaction. Industry 4.0 represents a foundational shift in business operations. Here are the various advantages of digital technologies – Technology companies capture nearly half of the venture capital and forecast output growth at 135%. -Forbes Cloud computing, machine learning, AI, and big data are categorized as the sub-sections of digital technologies. They are making significant ripples in the technology landscape. Regardless of the industry, the primary reason for that industry’s expected success is how tech is transforming and will change its trajectory.\u202f Digital Technologies and Healthcare Digital technologies include Cloud computing, machine learning, AI, and big data. They are making significant ripples in the technology landscape. Regardless of the industry, the primary reason for that industry’s expected success is how tech is transforming and will change its trajectory. Today hospitals and primary care facilities are facing downturns in profitability. The health industry’s overall outlook concerns health data management, AI and IoT-based personalized health solutions, health monitoring, and genomics. These factors are all based on the idea that your health data will drive immediate and long-term treatment options. Personalizing healthcare is guaranteed to be a gold mine in the coming years. Every industry is, in one way or another, getting powered by the gains that technology, in particular, will bring. What is a Healthcare Ecosystem? Technology advancements enable healthcare facilities to be available nearby or at home. It also fosters self and autonomous care and reduces friction costs between stakeholders. These shifts create an opportunity for stakeholders to move towards an ecosystem-based model of care. Forces that drive Healthcare Industry toward an ecosystem-based model\u202f Challenges addressed by a tech-based ecosystem Concerning all the industry stakeholders, the major challenges are \u2013\u202f For Patients For Payers For Providers Public Services & Regulations Advanced ecosystems exist across industries, including technological disruptors and incumbents deriving value from these ecosystems.\u202f Let me explain this by using Disney Ecosystem as an example. Its robust ecosystem allows each component to reinforce the other. It has had many milestones, including its first movie in 1937, its first television series in 1954, and its streaming service Disney+ in 2019. Throughout this journey, its theme parks and marketed products, including games and apparel, reinforce the brands of characters allowing all the stakeholders (audiences and visitors) to get an in-person experience. The complete ecosystem has content, marketing, and underlying analytics that deliver the best experience and customer retention rates. The maternal mortality rate in the US is on the rise. A technology ecosystem like Mahmee is addressing this problem. This EHR system links the patient records of both mother and baby. It brings all aspects of care, pediatrics, maternal, and wellness services together in one platform. The system includes various stakeholders who are trained professionals looking for complications specific to new mothers. For example, if they caught septic post-birth from breastfeeding etc. It also helps prevent postpartum depression from developing into psychosis in multiple patients. The system can respond to the needs of a vulnerable patient set. The healthcare ecosystem is the future! These systems revolve around the consumer (Patient). The ecosystem comprises of following services \u2013 Improved Traditional Care The services focus on preventing lifestyle-related diseases. The customer is involved in self-care routines through wellness-relevant content, health risk measurements, and health data tracking systems.\u202f Home and Social Care This includes services that ensure care, such as remote health monitoring and active patient engagement through networking portals. Financial Support This includes operations and financial infrastructure supporting industry care events, including payment and financing solutions.\u202f Other Services This includes services enabling the access and usage of care or other supporting systems.\u202f The future-driven healthcare ecosystem looks at the needs of different patient populations and their relevant care journeys. The consumer-centric nature of the ecosystem is increasing the number of touchpoints with a significant goal of modifying patient behavior and ultimately improving outcomes. On one end of the spectrum, the ecosystem addresses the needs of healthy patients with less consistent medical complications but have personal health goals. These patients will experience an utterly digitized ecosystem where the patient data and insights are utilized in a highly personalized and meaningful way – for example, by using wearables to track health-related parameters in real-time. On the other end, the ecosystem addresses the needs of patients who have various chronic conditions. Medicare and Medicaid drive this for the eligible population. It needs coordination between providers and services delivered virtually and in-person or near home to maintain the end-to-end experience. Technology components enhance the in-person experience and support the provider’s team. (Informal caregivers, often children of elderly patients) Healthcare startups are formulating solutions around senior care. Read our case study to understand how we helped create an AI-enabled voice assistant solution for the elderly. Although the patient segments help organize the care journeys and how ecosystems are required to support them, the journey considers the specific needs of every patient. Layers of the Healthcare ecosystem\u202f Architecture Layer It comprises effective data capture, curation, management, storage, and interoperability to create a common data set upon which the ecosystem operates. It needs data liquidity and the ability to access, ingest and manipulate standardized data sets. It helps in enabling coordinated care while accelerating innovation. The Open APIs are built for liquid data, provide access to patient records, support electronic data exchange for care transitions, and simplify the integration of new data sets, including claims, clinical, pharmacy, financial, and socially distributed data. For example, Medicare-participating hospitals or care facilities can automatically send HIPPA-compliant electronic notifications to relevant stakeholders whenever the patient’s status is updated.
