Chronic Disease Management

Looking for a Reliable Hospital Project Consultant?

Healthcare providers are deeply trusted by patients and their families to deliver high quality care to all patients. There are five super-trends that leading Providers are managing to continue to meet patient needs:

Increased demand for remote healthcare driven by:

The Covid 19 pandemic that is challenging us more than any health issue in living memory, and driving the need to move as much care as possible to be delivered remotely in order to reduce risk of infection for patients and the care team.

The need to design healthcare services enabled by digital health and remote patient monitoring to deal with the “new normal” after the initial lockdown

A demographic tipping point with significant growth in the number of people aged 65+ who have the highest care needs and costs of care. Life expectancy is increasing, but this is not equating to healthier lives so people are sicker for longer at the end of their lives. Most of these people want to live and age at their own homes rather than in care settings.

Rising levels of Chronic illness causing a shift in care needs from Acute to Chronic. There is a large increase in the number of people living with two or more chronic conditions, cancers, mental illness and dementia

Evolving expectations of patients. High quality care is a constantly moving target. Patients value high quality experience from a friendly and helpful care team who understand and involve the person in decision making, provide integrated care that looks at their entire set of needs and expect access to the therapies and technologies that can best help them. During the Pandemic, patients and the care team have adopted digital and remote models of care out of necessity, and in many cases have had a positive experience with these new models of care.

New scientific breakthroughs, therapies and technology that allow delivery of more efficient and effective remote care enabled by digital health technologies. These have now reached a tipping point where patients and their care teams expect and accept that many types of care will be delivered remotely.

Operating with constrained finances. Ensuring that new services and solutions fit within constrained budgets and provide cost-effective care. Minimizing hospital stays, and supporting safe transitions back to home or community.

Avoid physician and nurse burn-out by enabling a personal touch and deeper connection to patients. Meeting the needs of patients, doctors and nurses to have the time for longer and richer consults for patients who need it.
