Transforming patient outcomes with digital products that keep pace with change
Mass adoption of telemedicine due to COVID-19.
Better interoperability of electronic health records.
Digital content delivery.
Patient engagement platforms.
Healthcare decision support systems.
There’s no end to the number of ways that technology can bring positive change to healthcare providers, suppliers, and of course patients.
6B specialise in healthcare technology, and we work with a number of healthcare organisations like NHS ICBs and Trusts, Central Government organisations like the UK Health Security Agency as well as digital health start-ups and scale-ups. We’ve designed, developed, and implemented patient-centric solutions that enable better population health management, improve clinical workflows, and deliver better health outcomes.
We understand the challenges you’re facing to implement tangible technology improvements within your healthcare institution – and we’re here to help.
The increased need for quality healthcare can’t be blamed on the recent pandemic. The global rise in chronic diseases, plus the logistics of having an aging and expanding population have meant the demand for health services has been climbing for some time. Add to this the increase in resource pressure caused by understaffed healthcare organisations, and it’s easy to see why this is one of the top challenges for the industry.
Patients don’t just want to receive the best medical care – they want it to be as personalised and convenient as possible. Their ever-increasing expectations driven by their digital experiences elsewhere, have put an added pressure on healthcare establishments to up their “customer service” game. Whether it’s making information easily accessible online, or the concept of remote monitoring to help patients in hard-to-reach geographic areas, patient experience is key.
Funding has always been a critical factor – especially when the idea of digital transformation often entails large, complex and expensive projects at first. But cost efficiency challenges go further than that. Wasted time and resource goes into many manual, outdated processes, which also mean a pretty penny being spent on system maintenance. This lacks synchronicity, effectiveness and ultimately hinders staff rather than helps.
Speaking of outdated systems, what about the sheer complexity of the implementation itself? A recent study found that senior decision-makers in healthcare felt that the third greatest challenge when it comes to tech is actually the knowledge of it on the team. With so many solutions and competitors out there, not only can it be overwhelming trying to understand the different options available, but also hard to find one that’s as robust and customisable as it needs to be for company growth.
Healthcare institutions process reams of data every day, yet find themselves lacking the richness of that data when it comes to reporting. With thousands of datapoints at your disposal, how do you make sense of it in a quick and user-friendly way to better inform critical operational decisions? Plus, there’s the obvious concern around the security of all that information. With new data privacy regulations to consider too, the potential risk associated with protecting sensitive, confidential patient or business data, is as high now as it’s ever been.
