Healthcare in a Digital World

In today’s world, technology in healthcare is constantly evolving. After the pandemic, the utilization of digital tools helped the delivery of healthcare services become more efficient, accessible, and personalized. Let’s look at how Cameron uses technology to provide the highest quality of care.

Telemedicine: One of the most significant advancements in healthcare technology is the rise of telemedicine. Telemedicine allows patients to consult with healthcare providers remotely through video calls, phone calls, or secure messaging platforms. This enables individuals to access medical advice and treatment from the comfort of their homes, which can be crucial for individuals who may not have the ability to come within our hospital.

Remote Monitoring: Digital health devices such as smartwatches, medical sensors like pacemakers, and more, allow individuals to take control of their health. These devices can monitor vital signs, track activity levels, and provide real-time feedback to the patient from their healthcare providers. Using these digital tools allows providers to detect potential issues early on and intervene to prevent complications.

Electronic Health Records (EHRs): The use of electronic health records has revolutionized the way healthcare information is stored, managed, and shared. EHRs enable healthcare providers to access patients’ medical histories, test results, and treatment plans securely and efficiently. Not only does this enhance patient safety by providing a safe and secure bank of information, but it has created a more collaborative approach to health information. Individuals can utilize Cameron MyChart to track their health records, message their providers, schedule appointments, and more.

Scott Hirschy, Cameron’s Chief Information Officer, said, “AI is becoming deeply integrated into various aspects of healthcare, including healthcare billing, predictive analytics, clinical decision support, and population health management. I think this may be the most impactful improvement to the healthcare system to date”.

The advancement of technology in healthcare is changing the way we deliver and receive medical care. By embracing these digital tools, Cameron aims to improve everyone’s ability to access the highest level of healthcare.
