Courtesy of Humana Inc., 'Removing the Barriers to Better Health through a High Tech, High Touch Approach' offers the following exceptional takeaways:
Our current health care system is fragmented and inefficient, and therefore expensive and relatively ineffectual in terms of achieving desirable health outcomes. But value-unlocking changes have begun to take hold in the form of novel roles, responsibilities, and relationships of all parties in the healthcare ecosystem. The people you connect with and information you consume in the care of patients today probably won’t be the same tomorrow.
Foundationally, health care is built on trusting relationships, but that doesn’t just mean between a physician and a patient. All the stakeholders, including the payors and even family caregivers, must be better connected, depending on one another and leveraging a high-tech, high-touch approach to deliver integrated, well-informed holistic patient care. This new paradigm promises to significantly improve health outcomes and lower costs - deliver more value and ensure long-term sustainability of our health care system – by emphasizing prevention, reducing unnecessary services, improving care at home, treating patients with unmanaged behavioral health conditions, and more.
Today, Humana is working to fuse data and analytics with clinical and community relationships by working inside and outside the clinical setting. This is helping the healthcare ecosystem – including primary care physicians, specialists, other clinicians, hospitals, payors, the patients and entire communities – maximize their efficiency, identify opportunities, act on insights, address social determinants of health, and make key health decisions in an effective manner. When patients get the right care and preventive services at the right time and place, and social and lifestyle aspects of their health are understood, considered and addressed - everyone wins.
This high-tech, high-touch approach is helping to increase access to care, improve health outcomes for patients, and reduce medical expense.
