How To Make Healthcare Benefits Less Of A Headache

Providing healthcare for workers has never been so expensive, but it’s never been so necessary either. In the midst of a raging pandemic, your employees need to know that an unforeseen medical setback isn’t going to crash their finances.

Healthcare Beyond The New Normal: Learning From Trends & Opportunities Across Borders

The rapid pace of societal evolution in the Fourth Industrial Revolution is met by systemic challenges that accompany the changing face of healthcare – including evolving profiles of disease burden, rising costs of healthcare and resource scarcities that imperil the progress of global health security. These challenges have been aggravated manyfold by the Covid-19 pandemic, and must be met by solutions that appropriately consider the nuanced cultural, financial, and socio-political characteristics that influence population health.

When it comes to healthcare, data analytics isn’t just a "nice to have" — it can dramatically improve patient outcomes. Back in 2014, a data infrastructure solution called health data interchanges (HIE) was accessed only 2.4% of the time but those patients who had their providers examine their previous health data were 30% less likely to end up in the hospital. What’s more, the future value of the savings received by that healthcare network from 2014 to 2020 is a remarkable $2.8 million. But even with that financial ROI, fast forward to February 2020, six years later — it still took the Covid-19 coronavirus to cause HIE services use to triple as providers now understood the importance of patient data sharing during Covid-19.
