Top 6 Problems In Healthcare and How Digital Health Solutions Help Solve Them
As the new-year begins it is a pivotal time for healthcare leaders and decision makers – a time to prepare for the year ahead and finalize goals and objectives. As your organization considers how to improve outcomes and create a healthier patient population for 2023 you should consider the role that digital health solutions play in supporting your initiatives.
As a digital health solution provider, Mozzaz works with healthcare organizations to identify their specific digital health needs, and support them in ideating, implementing and managing the best solutions to support their initiatives.
The below recommendations are based on the most common pain-points hospital and healthcare leaders have had over 2022 that they needed support in through digital health solutions.
Alleviating Staff Shortages and Reducing Burnout
If you were to ask any healthcare leader what their top priority for 2023 is, staffing usually resides at the top, or near the top, of the list. In a recent survey of 100 hospital leaders conducted by healthcare consultancy Sage Growth Partners they established that 61% of those surveyed identified staff recruitment and retention as their top strategic priority for the upcoming years.
At Mozzaz we’re helping healthcare providers find innovative ways to support their workforce and reduce the burden faced by staffing challenges through more efficient and in many cases automated processes. Some of the solutions we have helped with include digitizing care plans, implementing remote patient monitoring with dedicated support nurses, automating certain patient outreach and more.
Enhancing Patient Engagement and Loyalty
As the competitive landscape for hospitals and healthcare systems continue to increase, digital solutions are needed to enhance patient satisfaction and through that retention and referrals.
Advanced patient messaging, additional patient touch-points and follow-ups, digital care plans that reward patient adherence are among some of the many solutions we have put together over the years to improve patient engagement and loyalty. At Mozzaz, we help healthcare providers determine which of these solutions will be the most impactful in meeting their unique patient engagement and loyalty needs.
Improving Practice Revenue (the bottom line)
It should be no surprise to any healthcare leader that a very common discussion these days has been focused on financial challenges. From inflation to staffing shortages and supply chain delays – all are contributing to both short and long-term financial pressures as they relate to revenue.
While it may sound counterintuitive, many digital health solutions that we provide can play a key role in supporting long-term financial health of these organizations. Some of the benefits include:
Value Based Care Initiatives
Maximizing Risk Based Contracts
Generating revenue top line revenue per patient (Avg $120 per patient per month)
With so many different solutions available it can be difficult to select the right one that will have the most positive impact on your organization. There is no one-size-fits-all approach and as such we take a consultative approach to determining which option will produce the largest return on investment (ROI) for your specific organization.
Meeting Demand for Health at Home Models
From the beginning of the pandemic, industry acceptance and recognition has grown both among consumers and healthcare leaders related to the value of health-at-home models. It’s unsurprising that as a result we are experiencing a significant increase in demand for remote patient monitoring (RPM), hospital-at-home and virtual visit solutions.
Many healthcare organizations are implementing these solutions for the first time, while others are looking to build and improve upon their existing technologies. Regardless of which bucket you are in, Mozzaz makes both scenarios easier for healthcare decision makers to navigate with a consultative approach to your specific organizations needs and objectives.
Improving Health Equity
We are excited to see the significant increase in demand for solutions which can help reduce disparities in health, as well as solutions that can help better understand and address the social determinants of health (SDOH).
Some digital solutions which are making a difference in this area today are:
Patient Engagement solutions aimed to increase outreach for those disparate patient cohorts
Remote patient monitoring and virtual care tools that improve access to care for patients
Usage of AI in combination with patient monitoring to identify at-risk patient cohorts and close health equity gaps
Digital patient intake solutions which are built to include SDOH-related insights through patient surveys
Achieving Seamless EHR Integrations
Data integration has continued to be a struggle for health systems with exchanging clinical and operational data across the care continuum. Mozzaz helps address this challenge through complete EHR integration with all of our provided solutions, done in a timely fashion and to the unique requirements of each healthcare provider in question.
We ensure that each new digital health solution implemented meets the organization’s unique needs for interoperability and EHR integration needs.
