Long-standing reluctance by Hospitals to disrupt norms and practices in patient care means, the industry has been slow to adopt new digital tools. However, the Covid-19 pandemic has placed extreme pressure on healthcare systems globally to adopt technological tools like telehealth, wearables and AI.
Industry analyst IDC predicts that by 2023 nearly two-thirds of patients will have accessed healthcare digitally. Digital health already impacts more than a billion lives in Asia, and could create up to 100 billion in value by 2025. Over 75% of that value will be driven by digitization of care delivery – McKinsey & Company July 21, 2021.
It comes as no surprise therefore that Healthcare providers in Malaysia and the region recognise it’s time to drive healthcare into the next era. According to the WHO, nearly two-thirds of Hospitals across 14 global markets are now investing heavily in digital health. This includes tools that enable remote health, cloud-computing, data analytics and machine learning.
At Pulse, we set out to develop a digital Saas platform for Hospitals with the belief that powerful opportunities exist when you combine operational excellence with data science and digital technology. We have designed a Platform that helps Hospitals appreciate their current standards of care and patient safety and leverage on data analytics and digital tools to improve on those standards.
In our discussions with Hospitals in Malaysia and the region, we have learnt of the great desire for Hospitals to see improvement in standards and use of digital tools. We have also noted greater concern for the welfare of personnel and patient safety. Today, we are convinced, and firmly believe, that data and analytics will soon become increasingly indispensable as Hospitals shift to digital ways of working.
It is possible for routine paper-based and manual tasks to be digitally transformed with data collection and validation, data mapping for operational insight and data visualisation for monitoring key performance metrics. Therefore, it is our Vision to see Hospitals adopt Data-Driven Decision Making (D3M) practices and accordingly, raise their quality of care and patient safety standards.
Through or SaaS Platform we support Hospitals with the following:
- A Mobile Application to capture and validate data from hospital operations 24/7 and in real-time
- 30 Data Parameters to help Hospitals understand what drives their standards and performance
- Automated algorithms that convert raw data into useful information and knowledge
- Data visualisation that helps personnel at every level understand their performance
- A Excellence Management Tracker (EMT) to track the performance of Heads of Departments
- A Digital Root Cause Analysis and Action tool to digitally transform your Hospitals RCA’s
- A hospital-wide tool to help develop a digital culture
- A hospital-wide tool to digitally transform Hospital operations
“The healthcare community is at the tipping point of a new era in health – an era in which we have the opportunity to embrace digital healthcare and dramatically improve human health on a global scale.” Vas Narasimhan, Chief Executive Officer, Novartis.
The Team at Pulse are keen to support Hospitals embrace digital healthcare sooner, rather than later.
