Plans for 2022 – Advanced technology and digitization to deliver excellent patient care

It is sad that Covid-19 pandemic is still making its weight felt in 2022. Many healthcare organizations and frontline workers have absorbed the brunt of the pandemic and faced an emotional toll. While most of these effects have been devastating, the pandemic has had some profound and yet positive effect on the industry – increased investment in India’s healthcare sector – sustained efforts in manufacturing of medical equipment, disposables, drugs, and the most recent – vaccine development efforts.

2022 – Stronger and more prepared
The focus in the coming days will be on advanced technology and digitization to deliver excellent patient care while taking advantage of modern revolutions in the medical field.

Telemedicine. The threat of easily transmitted disease has led to easy virtual healthcare and virtual tools to all. Telemedicine is a reality and anyone can get health consultations from the comfort of one’s home or anywhere with mobile phones. It also offers reprieve to the heavy workload faced by healthcare professionals, leading to hassle-free reporting requirements that usually sap their efficiency and ability to provide a good experience for patients. In near future, this could be the future of medicine.

Advanced technologies. From providing affordable, faster, and more effective solutions for diseases and performing various life-changing surgeries, technology is a boon. Committed to provide the highest-quality medical care to all, we have always been at the forefront to adopt highly advanced medical technologies, and continue to provide world-class clinical medical services, and offer an excellent outcome and shorter hospital stay. Highly advanced medical technology like hybrid cath lab – low-radiation clarity cath lab, 3T MRI with in-bore experience technology/open MRI, wide-bore (less claustrophobic) and a state-of-the-art 128 slice CT scan are enabling a healthcare provider to perform even sophisticated treatment on patients using cutting-edge diagnostic and therapeutic technology, making it one of a kind. Addressing patients with severe, persistent, and poorly controlled asthma bronchial thermoplasty, an advanced medical procedure provides immense relief. Among others, the advanced state-of-the-art neurosurgical technology for deep brain stimulation, O-armTM system, transcranial doppler, neurophysiological monitoring with electrophysiology offers technologically advanced treatment. The true beam STX machine with 6D robotic couch can deliver the latest in technology, most effective and safer irradiation as per the patient’s requirements.

Hence, technology in healthcare and medicine could potentially transform the healthcare system. So, we would like to bring in more technologies and see a new world of opportunity for tremendous innovation in healthcare.

Infrastructure. If anything, the pandemic has shown the importance of critical care beds and better infrastructure to handle emergency cases. The ongoing pandemic has taught us that our healthcare system needs to be improved very much to be able to handle any pandemic in the future. Keeping this in mind, India needs to look at increasing the number of critical beds. As with the beds, so also with the OTs, which mark the difference between life and death. Also, to increase the number of operating theaters and equip the theaters to perform more surgeries. Lately, there has been a surge in the upgradation of infrastructure by adding more ICU beds to provide a broader healthcare system. From time to time, we need to modernise our infrastructure with the goal to provide better patient care, hospital stay, and medical services.

Medical tourism. Medical tourism has become a thriving industry in the recent past. Affordable high-quality service with the latest medical technologies and health insurance portability in India attracts many people to come for medical help. Unfortunately, the pandemic has led to a sharp decline in the medical tourism industry in India but it is slowly picking up. In the near future, we are looking to see India emerging as the next-best destination for medical tourism post-Covid-19 pandemic.

Service excellence. As per the needs and demands of the patients, healthcare must be well equipped and offer a holistic program for rehabilitation, palliative care, geriatric care and extended home care. Hence, giving a seamless, unforgettable experience for our patients covering their journey from illness to wellness. And we plan to establish our hospital as one of the most sought-after healthcare providers globally by 2025.
