Connecting care | Philips Healthcare

“As a CIO, what I worry about is how do I take technology and use it to be able to provide better healthcare with less resources, so that we can help reduce the cost, but increase the quality of healthcare.”

Bert Reese
Senior Vice President and Chief Information Officer
Sentara Healthcare, Norfolk, VA

The opportunity

The process of transforming a healthcare enterprise that has built its infrastructure — and allocated its resources — as a traditional hospital or outpatient setting is an evolution, not a revolution. By investing in clinical technology that can coordinate and connect care wherever it is delivered, health systems can ease the transition from volume- to value-based care.

The challenge

Health systems everywhere are reevaluating traditional business and care delivery models to address the shift by payers from fee for service to value-based reimbursements for services. Helping facilitate change is the adoption of electronic health records, which is enabling the availability of data needed to measure quality of care. Yet these technology platforms must do much more than generate data – they need to share information in ways that allow for higher quality, lower cost care for more patients.

The solution

Evolving into a completely connected, clinically integrated healthcare organization calls for patient-centric solutions that help remove boundaries and enable systems, devices and people across the health continuum to share information easily and securely when and where they need it.

Maximizing your technology ROI

The legislative mandate to deploy electronic health records is driving significant healthcare information technology (HIT) investments. The ability to make relevant patient data available wherever care is provided, by connecting complex systems with each other and with the people who use them, is no longer a convenience, but a necessity. Our solutions consider the need to improve efficiencies and decrease operational costs by simplifying the challenges of interoperability and mobility across the enterprise.

Transforming the delivery of care

The path to healthcare reform will depend on new ways of thinking about partnerships and affiliations that can support the volume-to-value transition. Business and operating models are shifting dramatically as the industry moves towards a patient-centric, preventative care approach that emphasizes health and well-being. We can help transform how and where care is delivered by creating new cost-effective models for treating diverse patient populations in an increasingly connected world.
