How technology is changing healthcare

Addressing the workforce crisis

While ineffective technology exacerbates workforce challenges by preoccupying clinician time or creating duplicative work, emerging technologies like generative AI have the potential to significantly shift tasks to support or augment approximately 40% of working hours. The collaboration of technology and human ingenuity in combination can augment, not replace human skills.

Personalizing the experience

People are increasingly seeking better health experiences, pushing organizations to adopt digital health tools for on-demand care. Updating legacy systems to cloud-native applications and leveraging generative AI to free up scarce clinician time, boosts efficiency and patient engagement. Patients benefit from better service delivery, more personalized care, and increased overall satisfaction.

Long-term cost benefits

Technology is helping health providers and payers in various ways: with quality and continuous improvement processes, data interoperability and visibility, task-shifting, automation, managed services, self-service tools and remote care to reinvest cost savings and capacity to maximize existing and new revenue streams.

What you can do

Building a custom digital core means leveraging the power of cloud, data and AI through an interoperable set of systems across the enterprise, including platforms, automation, integration and security. It is a primary source of competitive advantage.
