The distinguished panelists spoke at length about the need for making care more affordable, accessible, and value-driven. “For the past decade, we’ve been struggling just to deliver the right care, address the social determinants of health and fulfill patients’ needs in real-time,” remarked White-Faines in her session titled “Beyond Compassion: Integrating Financial Health into Patient Care.” The speakers also touched on technological advancements and how several cutting edge processes have been fast-tracked during the ongoing pandemic. “Nothing smart has user manuals anymore. You just play! That is what we need in healthcare as well,” suggested Tullman.
Talking about the criticality of real-time data sharing, Dr. DeShazer explained how interoperability can add critical value to care processes. “The real-time flow of information is critical as the timing of intervention can mean the difference between life or death, rapid recovery or a complicated course,” he noted. “With millions of data points to analyze, the only way we can derive insights from them is through Machine learning and AI,” Moore suggested.
Sharing her experience at ElevateHealth, Fehrenbacher discussed how it is important to set the right goals and commented, “ I am a big fan of the triple aim of healthcare; better care, better quality and better value.” Hasija chimed in to say, “whole person health starts with whole person data.”
