From electronic medical records and medical imaging to tablet computers and telemedicine, the realm of digital has entered healthcare. Not only is digital health here to stay, it is poised to reinvent healthcare as the world knows it.

Going paperless has been a promising answer for the healthcare community as organizations look to reduce healthcare costs, improve health outcomes and respond to healthcare reform incentives and penalties. By integrating digitized health information into the workflow, organizations are improving clinical and financial outcomes. In the United States alone, Accenture estimates that nearly 90 percent of hospitals over the next three years will invest to install or upgrade their EMRs to meet meaningful use requirements.

Digitized medical data is driving the next wave of insight-driven healthcare and enabling a future of patient-centered care models. Making the most of digital investments over the long term is complex—and has implications for the entire healthcare community:

• Health plans. How can health plans use digital channels to connect with healthcare providers to improve beneficiary services and restructure reimbursements?

• Healthcare providers. How can healthcare providers implement EMRs quickly and cost efficiently to meet government mandates and ensure clinician adoption?

• Public health organizations. How can at-risk patient populations be better served with insights from digital advances?

Accenture Health helps organizations answer questions like these as part of their move toward Insight Driven Health—using knowledge in new ways for more effective, efficient and affordable healthcare. We help organizations throughout their digital journey—from implementation through adoption and support. Our digital healthcare consulting and insight-based solutions are comprehensive and tailored to each client’s unique needs.
