Realigning 'interconnectedness' in the contemporary tech-driven medical field
In today's rapidly evolving healthcare landscape, AI agents are becoming an integral part of the workforce, driving operational efficiencies and redefining the value of human-owned roles. This shift is not just about automation, but about enhancing and complementing human capabilities.
Amidst margin pressures and workforce challenges, health system leaders are turning their attention to establishing scalable data exchange across healthcare organisations, partners, and vendors. This move ensures seamless data connectivity and real-time visibility, paving the way for a more integrated and efficient healthcare system.
To align with the broader ecosystem dimensions, health system leaders need to recalibrate three key elements: structure, workforce, and technology and data. This means shifting from an inward focus to an outward one, prioritising external relationships and constituent groups for competitive growth and expanded access to timely care delivery.
The concept of systemness is being reconsidered, moving towards a broader concept known as "ecosystem-ness." This involves expanding systemness beyond a health system's walls, fostering greater external collaboration with various entities such as providers, insurance companies, pharmaceutical companies, research institutions, digital health startups, and community enterprises.
Health system trustees and leaders can take action to enable ecosystem-ness at their organisations. Yianni, in a recent article, has outlined four key actions for these leaders to invest in ecosystem-ness within their organisation. Unfortunately, specific details about these steps are not readily available. However, collaborations with technology platforms like Google Cloud, Microsoft Azure, and Oracle Cloud can help frontline leaders access and analyse clinical information, leading to operational efficiencies and enhanced human roles.
For those interested in learning more about these actions, Yianni's article is highly recommended. It offers valuable insights into the future of healthcare and the role of ecosystem-ness in shaping it.
