HTO Robot Nurse Will Robots Replace Healthcare Providers?

Automation has been making human workers superfluous for centuries, but until recently, workers whose jobs required high-level cognitive skills have been able to rest easy, confident no machine could possibly replace them when it came to making nuanced decisions based on the evaluation of complicated, sometimes contradictory data. By Khal Rai, Senior Vice President, Product Development & Operations, SRS Health

  • Optimizing Direct Spend Management For More Sustainable And Innovative Healthcare Systems
    2/1/2019

    In the U.S., healthcare costs too much. It consumes 20 percent of GDP and costs twice what it does in other developed countries, despite the scale of the U.S. market. This is neither sustainable nor efficient – and we see the individual, collective, and political ramifications playing out every day in the headlines. We pay more than other countries for prescription medications, medical devices, and healthcare services. It goes without saying that the complexities of our healthcare and insurance systems are problematic in this regard, but much of the opportunity to cut costs lies at the source – literally. Smarter sourcing and procurement of direct materials should be addressed as a major strategic factor in reducing healthcare costs.
