The Impact of Digital Transformation in a Healthcare Crisis

Meeting the High Demand for Care - Securely

By enabling providers to consult with patients remotely, telemedicine addresses the high demand for services in the midst of a crisis and, at the same time, limits personal contact to help manage health risks. Telemedicine also makes it possible to scale the healthcare community's response to the crisis, allowing first-line providers to direct patients with severe symptoms to emergency facilities, for example, while keeping those with mild symptoms under care at home.

When patients and providers can connect remotely, it's faster and easier for healthcare organizations to respond to rapidly shifting workloads and workforce circumstances. A medical practice or inpatient system with multiple locations can use telemedicine to "move" clinicians from an area that's experiencing low demand to one that's overwhelmed, and then pivot when the level of demand changes again.

Any capability that relies on digital channels of communication creates some exposure to cyber attack, and that risk is heightened in healthcare, where having healthcare systems shut down as the result of an attack would be disastrous. By implementing measures to help limit the risk, healthcare organizations can make the most of digital transformation, even in the most challenging of circumstances.
