After paying attention to everything that has happened since COVID-19 and the different variants that have affected the world population, we realized how fundamental digitization was for the pharma environment.
Why is digitization so important in health processes? Definitely, to improve the flow of processes through transformative technological trends that have marked a before and after in the health sector.
The following data obtained thanks to a study carried out by Zebra tell us about the advantages of the technology:
1. Cost reduction. 55% of Hospitals cite a reduction in costs related to medical care.
2. Improving the quality of care. 72% of hospitals have highlighted the improvement in the quality of medical care.
3. Improvements in patient safety. 61% of nurses report fewer errors when administering medications and 96% plan to use a device to analyze predictive medical data.
4. 77% of patients have a positive opinion about the use of devices by health professionals.
5. 57% of patients use wearable devices to monitor health metrics.
6. 95% are willing to share their mobile device metrics with healthcare professionals.
The reality is that the challenges in health grow every day along with the advances, but the optimization of operations can intervene in the improvement of the areas of opportunity to transform health services.
We are at the ideal time to embrace all digital trends given that not only health professionals can take advantage of it, but also patients who expect and accept technology as part of their prevention, diagnosis and treatment process.
