Virtual Care - Revolutionizing Health Care
The COVID-19 pandemic has propelled the momentum for revolutionary changes in health care – most notably, the shift towards virtual health care.
According to the Canadian Attitudes on Healthcare and Telemedicine Report, demand for more convenient virtual care services is on the rise. Nearly half of survey respondents (46%) stated that COVID-19 has made it more difficult to access health care, and seven in 10 survey respondents said that “virtual health care is the future of health care.” Innovation of the current health-care service model is key to meet the evolving needs of patients and health-care providers. Changing the framework of today's health-care system and embracing new business models requires leaders to be increasingly pioneering, inventive and agile. Health-care leaders must adapt quickly to rapidly developing health-care and virtual care trends, treatments, regulations and changing external influences, such as patient socio-demographic variables.
Visionary health-care leaders are needed to foster a culture of innovation, leading to improved quality of patient outcomes, increased care access, a more engaged workforce and reduced costs.
It can be difficult to find team members with that rare combination of leadership and innovation needed to achieve these goals.
