Health care is no different; given its reliance\non large amounts of data, adopting a single digital platform to capture and\nanalyze user data is the key to improving the patient and provider experience\nby automating processes to streamline efficiency and provide more personalized\ncare. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It is essential that health care organizations\nutilize this business model in order to stay competitive. A centralized, secure\ndata platform offering access to multiple players in the health care network \u2013\nproviders, patients, advocates, vendors, and partners \u2013 is essential. It would\npromote seamless interaction, allowing users to access records and find answers\nto questions quickly and easily. Automating such a system would improve\nefficiency and help with basic tasks such as reporting. Think of it as a\none-stop shop that would address the needs of a wide range of people all at\nonce and the benefits become clear. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Many companies are already in the process of adopting such systems and thinking about ways in which to maximize their capabilities. The health care industry hasn\u2019t quite caught up to these digital-forward organizations yet; transformation is still in its infancy, with only four out of 10 health care organizations equipped to utilize the advanced analytical capabilities required to power digital platforms. Furthermore, an estimated 96 percent of senior financial executives in health care companies say their organizations need to make financial and operational data analytics a higher priority in their overall business decisions, according to <a href=\"https:\/\/protect-us.mimecast.com\/s\/HLq_CKrAx3CMR41RC3_niJ\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" aria-label=\" (opens in a new tab)\">a recent survey<\/a>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>But change is coming, that much is certain.\nWith advances in technology, the business of health care will undergo an\ninevitable transformation \u2013 one that will benefit providers and patients alike.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>We often talk about the ways in which technology is changing the health care industry.
