The cost of healthcare is rising. It is most evident in the case of providing care for chronic

conditions. The least effective way to deliver care for chronic conditions is through hospitals

because of the risk of infections and the often unnecessary demand on the time, of the

patient and the physician. According to the Journal of the American Medical Association,

around 80,000 people die from hospital acquired infections, many of which can be

prevented.

The need to deliver outcomes will drive the healthcare market.Over the next few years,

however, individual healthcare purchases and competition from unlikely places will shape

the healthcare market. There are paradigm changes in the market, which is moving from a

fee-for-service to fee-for-outcomes model for care delivery. There is incentive to keep

patients out of hospitals, post-treatment. This implies multiple avenues for transformation,

all of them driven by the need to deliver positive outcomes and enhance value.

The Need for Transformation

The healthcare market is shaped by three major forces—the payers, providers and the patients. Any solution that attempts to change

the status quo must address the primary concerns and needs of all of them.

Care providers face cost pressures because of the increasing burden on the healthcare delivery system brought about by an increase

in patient volumes. A majority of the system is geared to meet the needs of patients with chronic conditions such as cardiac care,

diabetes and other lifestyle conditions.

Payers target reducing hospitalisation time and controlling hospital visits and admissions to ensure lower insurance payouts.

Patients find the management of chronic conditions a hindrance to living independently. Reducing the frequent travel to hospitals

necessitated by chronic conditions will directly assure patients a better quality of life and reduce chances of infections. It will allow

patients to retain their independence, prevent complications, and minimize healthcare costs.

Challenges

Solutions that enable remote healthcare delivery can help hospitals improve their delivery and rationalise

costs. But, developing and deploying an end-to-end remote patient monitoring solution poses several

challenges:

- Integration with existing systems, many of which are legacy healthcare IT systems

- Interoperability and standardization, as there are thousands of medical devices that operate on a

variety of protocols

- Must bring monitoring data from all these devices to the physician in real time to ensure relevance

and timely care

- Must operate in a secure environment to protect data integrity and conf identiality

-Must provide flexibility to add newer devices to an existing remote patient monitoring infrastructure

The need todeliver outcomes

will drive the

healthcare

market.
