The Big Shift in Healthcare—Is Medtech Ready to Help?
Boston, MA—May 28, 2021 As hospitals emerge from pandemic crisis mode, they may be focusing once again on efforts to improve overall patient outcomes while reducing healthcare costs. Interestingly, thanks to telehealth and remote patient monitoring tools that supported home-based healthcare during the pandemic, healthcare systems now have a clearer idea on how to treat some patients at home, perhaps more routinely and cost effectively.
Could there be an opportunity for medtech companies to support such a shift in healthcare? Healthcare costs and quality came up during the recent panel discussion organized by MedExecWomen, “What Hospital C-Suite Pain Points Can MedTech Address in 2021/22?” It featured healthcare executives Alan Levine, CEO of Ballad Health; and Amy L. Bush, COO of WVU Medicine Children's Hospital.
