Evidence: Find the insights in real-world data
Understanding a patient's health journey can shed light on the existence of care gaps, their causes, and potential solutions. The patient’s journey requires a holistic view of health data through cleaned claims, population data, genetic markers and behavioral inputs. These insights enable organizations to customize interventions to address challenges such as health equity barriers, disease burden, comorbidities and disease progression.
Predictive analysis further helps in strengthening this strategy by identifying risks early and guiding preventive action. Through customer analytics consulting, healthcare providers can identify risks early, locate underserved individuals and implement measures to improve their experience. Efficiently using the information, healthcare providers can create better treatment plans based on real-life patient experiences.
Engagement: Bridging gaps through holistic support
Access to healthcare around the world is often hampered by practical barriers such as transportation, affordability, or availability of specialists. To overcome these barriers, healthcare providers must invest in programs that are sustainable, accessible, affordable, and equitable. These holistic programs can have a lasting and measurable impact on patients’ health outcomes by supporting individuals across the entire health journey, from the first symptom to diagnosis, treatment, and long-term management.
Direct-to-patient programs can help retain engagement and improve adherence, especially for chronic diseases. Giving patients and their healthcare providers agency and tools to manage their health is key to lasting transformation.
Experience: Connecting the clinical and real worlds
Today, healthcare extends beyond hospitals or physicians’ offices; it is happening at home, through apps, and with wearable devices. The healthcare system needs to improve how it connects with people from the time they try to prevent illness to when they join clinical trials. To improve healthcare, clinical trials should be accessible to everyone, especially those who usually don’t have access. Digital tools can help researchers find the right patients, reduce travel or paperwork for participants, and accelerate the process of testing and approving new treatments.
By using real-world data from health devices like fitness trackers and medical monitors, researchers can connect this data across different devices to track the patient’s journey from the clinical trial stage to everyday care. This connected data gives doctors a clear picture of the patient’s health. This approach will help more people get the care they need and promote inclusivity in clinical studies.
Achieving connected healthcare requires more than just technological advancements and adopting a strategy built on evidence, engagement, and experience. By using real-world data, healthcare providers can discover the hidden risks, provide personalized care, and improve outcomes. Addressing the practical barriers through holistic programs fosters better patient engagement. With a thoughtful healthcare transformation strategy, the healthcare industry can move closer to a future with more personalized, equitable, and accessible care for all.
