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

  • Ways Medtech Can Embrace Healthcare Reform And Ultimately Save Billions Of Dollars
    12/17/2015

    U.S. hospitals and other providers face unprecedented change with reimbursement cuts, pressure to improve quality and outcomes, consolidation, and new pay-for-performance reimbursement models just some of the forces driving it. The pressure for change is impacting many areas of the healthcare system with one area receiving increased attention being the healthcare supply chain. The supply chain has historically suffered from misaligned incentives, opaque data on price and value, outdated purchasing practices and less accountability for managing costs. In fact, in one large survey conducted a few years ago, more than 50 percent of provider supply chain professionals described their own supply chain as immature. As the hospital supply chain matures, suppliers to hospitals need to evolve as well. With all of the change occurring, medical technology suppliers in particular face a choice. Embrace the change and help save billions in healthcare costs or try to survive operating in an evolving market using an old business model. By Dan Bayer, VP and GM Life Sciences, Model N
