How Collaborative Tools

4. Like a stem cell,
a tablet, computer, smartphone can
evolve into almost anything, from a
personal desktop to a globally-connected
communications center.

5. That versatility, coupled
with today’s new healthcare
technologies, will soon enable
your tablet to, for instance, read
vital signs in real time.

7. The move to digital devices in the
healthcare industry is already dramatically
improving efficiencies, lowering costs, and
providing higher quality patient
care and outcomes.

8. By combining new
communication and
collaboration services with
digital health systems, providers
and their partners can greatly
improve costs, care,
and products.

9. These technologies
have been deployed
in a wide variety of
healthcare settings.

10. They’re enabling hospitals
to extend the reach of their
continuing medical education courses.

without Borders
Case Study:

12. An excellent illustration of how
the new healthcare technologies
are being used is the genial
OPENPediatrics platform, created by
Boston Children’s Hospital and IBM.

13. The platform has digital
and video social network
capability for collaboration
and knowledge exchange
as well as curricular
pathways for training
clinicians
on essential
concepts.

14. The core values of the platform read like a
guide to best practices for the new
healthcare continuum:
Develop and promote sharing of high quality educational materials for
the international exchange of information.
Educate

15. Transform the current paradigm
of medical education through the
development of noveltechnologies to
enhance learning worldwide.
Use social technology to enable
the sharing of information among
healthcare providers worldwide.
ShareInnovate

16. Work together with partners
worldwide to enhance the capabilities
of a knowledge exchange platform.
Conduct and share innovation
research to increase understanding of
medical learning behaviors around
the world.

The Tools to Build

18. In the past, technology was bought and
amortized over time, but today, Cloud and SaaS
allow organizations to “rent” services that are
scalable and automatically
updated when
necessary.

19. In the communications arena, UC&C
(Unified Communications & Collaboration)
will play a critical role in enabling
healthcare professionals to support the
complex relationships within and without
their organizations.

20. The greatest advantages
from UC&C will be gained
by people and processes
with wide networks
that need to connect
frequently, and often
in real-time.

21. They’ll benefit from
highly-requested services such
as immediate status of availability,
ease of coordination, and rich tools
for collaboration.

22. 5.Tomorrow
Digital healthcare

23. For the first time we can
digitize humans. We can remotely
and continuously monitor each
heart beat, moment-to-moment
blood pressure readings, the rate
and depth of breathing, body
temperature, oxygen concentration
in the blood, glucose, brain waves,
activity, mood – all the things that
make us tick.
- Eric Topol, cardiologist and geneticist, “The Creative Destruction of Medicine”

”

24. Once the entire healthcare
continuum is globally connected,

25. think of how many lives will be saved,
how many illnesses will be prevented,
how many unnecessary procedures,
tests, hospitalizations and other medical
expenditures will be avoided, and how much
medical care itself will improve, even in the
most remote parts of the world.
