The topic of cost explosion in the healthcare system has been a „perennial issue“ for many years and will continue to be so against the background of demographic development, prevalence and incidence of diseases as well as technical progress and numerous other factors. The aim is therefore to counter this development with adequate solutions. Digitization offers enormous opportunities here and releases corresponding potential for innovation and development in healthcare.
The current S7 market study Digital Dolutions in the Healthcare Market: Costs Down, Revenue Up addresses the question of how costs can be reduced – primarily by increasing efficiency through process optimization – and which digital solutions the market already offers today or will be able to offer in the future. The topic of electronic patient files is one of the market’s key drivers here. Other IT solutions in the healthcare market are offered by numerous companies, from start-ups to the big players, which recognize the potential of the market and place innovative digital offers via their sub-companies. They want to participate in market developments and help determine the future of the market.
In the context of optimizing profitability, it is also a question of increasing sales. The key indicator for companies here is the number of customers/customer contacts that can be increased via digital touchpoints and corresponding digital offerings.
The study is now available here.
