IORMA Webinar : Hospitals, Technology and the Patient
Thursday 3 March 2022
Patients are seeing huge improvements in surgery performance as robotics, proton beam therapy, machine vision, augmented intelligence, and deep learning capabilities are being harnessed. This is important because according to McKinsey, healthcare providers around the world are facing urgent imperatives: to strengthen clinical quality; increase the delivery of personalised, patient-centred care; improve the patient experience; and enhance their efficiency and productivity.
These innovations include adopting lean and standardised processes to improve quality and optimise productivity, increasing the use of automation and nonmedical staff to change how their clinical workforce is deployed, employing new technologies to deliver better-quality care at lower cost, involving patients more closely in care delivery, and harnessing patient-generated data to personalise treatments.
Our eminent panel members are part of the revolution transforming hospital treatment.
