Michael Dell today shared his insights with healthcare
executives on how information technology is being used to improve
the efficiency and quality of care today and how IT can support
future innovations in prevention, wellness and personalized
medicine.
Speaking at the Health Evolution Partners Leadership Summit, Mr.
Dell encouraged healthcare organizations to expedite adoption of
Electronic Medical Records (EMRs) and cloud computing to create new
information-driven efficiency and care advantages. A longstanding
advocate of preventative health, Mr. Dell said that a key benefit
of solutions like EMRs is the correlation between higher-quality
information and higher-quality care. Based on insights gleaned from
working with healthcare organizations around world, he encouraged
public and private healthcare leaders to:
1. Unlock Information
Enhanced digitization and the management and sharing of patient
information will help eliminate information silos between patients,
providers and payers. Today, Dell is providing EMR solutions to
40,000 clinicians through 20 hospital-affiliated programs. Seventy
percent of the hospitals who have achieved the highest level of EMR
deployment are Dell customers.
2. Empower Caregivers
Mr. Dell said IT implemented at the point of care can empower
caregivers and enhance their productivity, a growing issue as the
U.S. faces physician and nursing shortages and increasing aging and
chronically-ill populations. Point-of-care solutions such as Mobile
Clinical Computing, which enable clinicians to securely access
patient EMR information from any device, are saving clinicians
several hours per week to help hospitals reclaim thousands of hours
for patient care each year.
3. Improve Business and Technology Infrastructure
Updated processes combined with the right technologies can also
improve the business of healthcare to help hospitals reclaim time
and money in a challenging economy. For example, Dell has helped
hospitals recover $15 billion through revenue-cycle process and
technology improvements over the last seven years, Mr. Dell
explained. One hospital with a large percentage of public-pay
patients reduced unbilled claims by 30 percent and increased their
cash flow by $8 million a month by improving revenue cycle
processes.
4. Use Information for Innovation
With an effective strategy in place to manage the dramatic
increase of digital data generated by EMRs, imaging and genomic
research, healthcare leaders can tap data for intelligence that
will lead to major innovations in healthcare and create new
opportunities for the industry.
Mr. Dell discussed how EMR data will help pharmaceutical
companies develop targeted treatments for patients who do not
respond to conventional drugs. And the integration of genome
information with EMRs will enable physicians to develop lifetime
wellness plans for patients with genetic predispositions to
specific diseases or health conditions. More targeted therapies and
lifetime wellness plans will maximize the billions of dollars
invested annually in research and create new opportunities for the
industry globally.
Michael Dell Quote
“Digitizing patient information and making it available in a
secure and convenient way across our healthcare system are among
the best opportunities we have to improve U.S. healthcare and
create a better system for future generations of Americans.”
