Future of Healthcare

India has demonstrated momentous advancement in improving the human services norms over the most recent 25 years. Healthcare will turn out to be progressively steady by fusing innovation for the treatment of the patients, and real-time data analysis. In the coming years, coordinated efforts between different facilities, emergency clinics, and other top- and medium-tier health systems will create more consumer interest and better services for the patients.

Innovation will be a distinct advantage in the way healthcare services will be delivered in India. The private area will be the real main thrust behind innovation appropriation in the Indian healthcare. To upgrade costs and adequately oversee activities, IT arrangements will be an integral part of process management, patient care, and management information system (MIS) in hospitals. With the health insurance sector poised for major growth in the coming decade, expanding request from this segment will put weight on emergency clinics and other medicinal services suppliers to soak up innovation to modernize the existing foundation.

The intermingling of healthcare with upcoming innovations, for example, distributed computing and remote advances, will play a key role in improving availability and meeting the manpower-shortage challenge. The coming years are relied upon to observe more noteworthy deployment of devices, for example, telemedicine, teleradiology, hospital information systems (HIS)/hospital management information systems (HMIS), online or electronic medical records (EMR), and so forth.

Healthcare is ready to grasp distributed computing in a major manner in the coming decade. Cost-effective cloud-based arrangements are relied upon to drive expanded reception of HMIS and EMRs. Different advantages that can be inferred, for example, easy accessibility independent of geographical area, less errors, quick reaction in the midst of emergencies, persistent accommodation, among others, will drive expanded adoption.

To drive improved efficiencies, more clinics are probably going to look for automation for their workforce management, billing, finance, management, patient records, and drug stores. Alongside the developing prominence of digitization in emergency clinics, market infiltration of picture archiving and communication systems (PACS) is probably going to increase further in the near future.

In the coming years, many healthcare companies will go in for IPOs (initial public offerings). Recently, diagnostic healthcare firm Metropolis has launched its ₹1200 crore IPO.

Way forward
Rainbow Children’s Hospital in coming years will go in for electronic medical record keeping, which will help in storing of the patient records in a more efficient manner. To redefine our inpatient care, we are in the process of purchasing the medical equipment Alphacare, by which the nursing workload will reduce as the patients’ calls/requests will go directly to the concerned departments. Currently, nurses spend more time in resolving non-clinical problems of the patients as the latter complain to the nurses for all sorts of issues. Through the use of Alphacare, the request will go to the concerned department and the nurses will be able to focus more on the clinical care of the patient, thus leading to improved patient care and satisfaction.

Outreach super-specialty clinics – Rainbow Children’s Hospital has started a few outreach clinics in the far-flung areas of Karnataka. The hospital has started outreach clinics in Dharwad, Shimoga, and Mandya districts. In Dharwad, we are providing endocrinology, orthopedic, nephrology, and oncology services on subsidized rates. Rainbow Children’s Hospital will shortly start a few outreach clinics in Salem and Krishnagiri regions too.
