Tech savvy physicians are the need of the hour
© CureMD Healthcare
• Information technology is truly transforming the
healthcare industry by helping improve processes,
streamline workflows and reduce costs
• It presents a unique set of opportunities which were
non-existent before
• Patients are more equipped now thanks to the
availability of a wide range of mobile devices and
healthcare information
• This also provides an opportunity for physicians to
take their practice along with them wherever they go
and still be able to manage it remotely
Tech Savvy Physicians
Tech Savvy Physicians
• A Deloitte report says 73% of all physicians believe
that health information technology will improve the
quality of care provided in the long term
• Nearly 6 in 10 physicians are non-users and don’t
employ mobile health technologies – tablets or
smart phones – for clinical purposes, such as
accessing EHRs, e-Prescribing etc.
• Non-users cite failure of the worksite to provide such
devices, and unwillingness or inability to use their
personal devices (44%) as a major limitation
Tech Savvy Physicians
• Physicians do understand that health information
technology solutions have the potential to improve
the quality of care delivery while reducing their
administrative and financial concerns
• Patients have often complained of how they feel a
disconnect with their physicians if they are spending
too much time behind computer screens
• Health information technology is still evolving and
will eventually transform into a “less disruptive”
mode of communication between the patient and
doctor
Tech Savvy Physicians
• Patient portals are already fulfilling this purpose by
engaging patients better and giving them more
control over managing their health
• Enabling machines to handle data storage and
processing tasks will invariably make them perform
more accurately and efficiently than we are doing at
the moment
• Additionally, it will also liberate us from the
additional computational burden we’ve created for
ourselves
Tech Savvy Physicians
• If phase one of modern medicine is to acquire the
scientific knowledge and concepts to dramatically
improve healthcare outcomes
• Phase two is about designing information systems to
free physicians’ working memories, as well as their
calendars, leaving more room for the human side of
medicine
