Healthcare is facing no shortage of challenges.
But while billions are poured into R&D every year, the impact on patient lives is often underwhelming.
There’s a serious need for not just new ideas, but better management of them in healthcare systems.
Here are the reasons why and areas where we need a new approach to healthcare.
The implementation of new technologies.
• Improvements are most often driven by new technologies
• Need a reliant, steady flow of new and actionable tech ideas
• Formalize discovery, reviews, and implementation of those ideas
Caring for an aging population.
• Boomers transitioning into a new set of health needs
• Healthcare providers will need to follow suite
• Need new ideas for services, staff adjustments, and facilities updates
Attracting a booming younger population.
• Millenials are seen as a wildcard in society and healthcare
• Healthcare systems are trying hard to figure them out
• Need ideas for attracting them to healthcare services as both patients
and employees
Providing faster service and care.
• People are busy and want fast service
• Also want a convenient way to track and schedule care
• Systems need to find a way to require less time for care
Improving system-wide communication.
• Inefficiencies in relaying information
• With patient lives on the line, important for healthcare providers to
find new ways to communicate effectively
• Focus on both day-to-day operations and ensuring new ideas can be
heard and acted upon.
Adjusting to changes in regulations.
• Regulations within healthcare are always a hot-button issue
• Many changes carrying legal ramifications
• Need to find new ways to adjust operations and offerings to align with
regulations
Saving patient lives.
• Medical errors are a serious problem
• More intuitive patient processing to deeper education and training
• Need to aim to find new ways to reduce hazardous, deadly, and
preventable errors
Improving overall satisfaction.
• Everyone wants the best for their loved-ones
• Improving satisfaction and comfort for not just patients, but their
families, friends, and care-takers
• Improving public perception and willingness to interact with a
healthcare organization
If there’s any industry that needs better idea management, its healthcare.
