While the machinery is working on reducing cost of generic medications , we really want adequate money to be spent and intelligent minds to be working on best of innovations in health and be able to compensate them for their best of efforts . Now this gets you into catch 22 with debate on how much profit you really want them to be able to make .
I strongly believe that the above argument is coming to an end . The way Moors law worked on hardware , in healthcare the targeted therapies and predictive and proactive approaches are going to reduce the number of incidents by more than 80 %. This huge reduction will make way for money to be spent in the most critical areas of healthcare .
In the US , CMS has already started working on outreach programs to reduce hospitalization of comorbid patients . Programs like these are getting acceptance in developed countries through effective control on payer side . Today , a lot of health insurance providers are giving special discounts on gym membership and other preventive health measures .
While the number of incidents is getting reduced , Big Data is going to play a huge role to take NNT ( Number
Needed to Treat ) to a perfect score of 1 . This will eliminate discussion on side effects of the treatment .
Registries for reporting to making use of registries for effective management of conditions In the past , a lot of data was being captured by various government and other organizations to understand criticality and severity of a particular disease . While it helped us to target treatments like Polio in the past , technology has now already started moving to the next logical step .
You don ’ t need connected hospital systems anymore to be able to identify outbreaks . Google has proven it in the last few outbreaks already , by providing just the search terms in search engine to predict with high accuracy for effective management of those outbreaks .
Can we take disease registries to the next level to add not only clinically relevant data but also twitter tweets , facebook updates and whatsapp private chats , etc .? Can we profile registries by genomic markers ?
Can we make all the registries open to researchers to be able to do meaningful research ? Can the exceptional cases with positive outcomes across the globe be analyzed to get effective treatment protocols which are evidence based , not in a clinical trial , but in real life cases .
Large Health facilities to Home based tele-health
Health systems evolved with necessity of creating best infrastructure to get best diagnostic services , and then best of healthcare . Currently , the large facilities can afford best of technology with accurate monitoring capabilities and speedy treatment .
Very soon the wearable technology is going to be ubiquitous and highly accurate with support from required deep learning algorithm . This , linked with efficient response system from health worker on tele-health platform , will take away need for patients to present themselves in hospitals . Robots are already making their way in telehealth .
This single change is not only going to improve efficiency of the whole healthcare delivery system but will also be highly beneficial to the patient community .
