Grant Thornton Bharat and the Association of Healthcare Providers (India) (AHPI) have tried to understand the healthcare providers’ and practitioners’ perspectives on leveraging technology in their report called ‘Technology transformation for future-ready healthcare.’ The survey-based report showcased that 84 per cent of respondents plan to significantly increase the budget on digital solutions and technology initiatives in the next 12 months.
with more than 80 per cent of the respondents admitting they wanted to enhance their digital and IT infrastructure spending budget to drive better healthcare outcomes, robust governance, operational excellence and ensure compliance. The government is also giving impetus to health tech adoption through various schemes. As India moves ahead with the agenda of universal health coverage, technology will be a crucial lever to drive accessibility, availability and affordability".
According to the survey report, while planned technology spending is encouraging, cyber threats and data privacy concerns loom over. The hospital database contains confidential patient information, including medical diagnoses, treatment records and insurance information. This is a huge area of improvement and focus since, as per the survey, 66 per cent of healthcare professionals and leaders are not confident that their technology infrastructure is sufficient to prevent cyber threats. The integration of 5G across supply chains can transform this, help ease operations and lead to the seamless adoption of technology-enabled insurance-related services, device manufacturing and clinical trials.
隨著醫療保健提供商努力提高運營效率、加強服務交付並改善健康結果，技術在整個價值鏈中得到了更大的應用。在此背景下，Grant Thornton Bharat和醫療保健提供者協會（印度）(AHPI) 試圖在他們名為“面向未來的醫療保健技術轉型”的報告中了解醫療保健提供者和從業者對利用技術的看法。基於調查的報告顯示，84% 的受訪者計劃大幅增加預算未來 12 個月的數字解決方案和技術計劃。
根據調查報告，超過 80% 的受訪者承認他們希望增加數字和 IT 基礎設施支出預算，以推動更好的醫療保健成果、穩健的治理、卓越的運營並確保合規性。政府還通過各種計劃推動衛生技術的採用。隨著印度推進全民健康覆蓋議程，技術將成為推動可及性、可用性和可負擔性的關鍵槓桿。雖然計劃的技術支出令人鼓舞，但網絡威脅和數據隱私問題隱約可見。醫院數據庫包含機密的患者信息，包括醫療診斷、治療記錄和保險信息。這是一個巨大的改進和重點領域，因為根據調查，66% 的醫療保健專業人員和領導者不相信他們的技術基礎設施足以防止網絡威脅。5G 跨供應鏈的整合可以改變這一點，幫助簡化運營並導致無縫採用技術支持的保險相關服務、設備製造和臨床試驗。
