The economic landscape for healthcare payers is challenging and expected to remain so for the foreseeable future. However, a significant opportunity still exists. My colleagues Shubham Singhal and Jessica Lamb explore how payers can leverage existing technologies such as artificial intelligence and automation to: ☑ Create net savings of 13 to 25% in administrative costs ☑ Reduce medical costs by 5 to 11% ☑ Improve revenue by 3 to 12% My key takeaway? It's crucial for payer CEOs to decide whether to be leaders or followers in this space, as the size of the opportunity suggests that those who choose to wait will need to have a ready response plan if competitors move ahead successfully.

Note the recent Digital Transformation article from my fellow McKinsey healthcare leaders, to which I had the opportunity to contribute. A few takeaways: - Digital healthcare leaders must embrace agile technology prioritization to keep pace with the accelerating changes in business and technology. - It's crucial to recognize that it's not just financial constraints and legacy technology that can hold us back. Key leadership skills such as data governance, talent development, entrepreneurship, adaptability, resilience, collaboration, reimagining care delivery, and scaling early experiments play significant roles in the success of digital transformation. - Exciting times are ahead, and it's imperative to bring your A-game by preparing yourself as a next-generation digital leader: embrace a new set of skills while deepening the core competencies that have brought you this far, learn from industries that are ahead of healthcare in digital adoption, and lean into the change. This approach will enable you to navigate the complexities of digital transformation and drive impactful change in your organization.

What are the most significant obstacles to using electronic health records (EHRs)? Klas Research asked 33,000 clinicians across over 300 healthcare organizations this question and compiled their answers in the 'EHR Interoperability 2024' report. When asked specifically about their experiences with patient data from external organizations, 47% mentioned the lack of proper integrations to access EHRs. At Tiga Healthcare Technologies, we utilize our expertise to develop healthcare IT products that enhance efficiency and lead to better treatment outcomes. Our Healthcare Interoperability product family, which includes Health Information Exchange (HIE) Viewer, Terminology Server, FHIR Stack and Enterprise Master Patient Data Index (EMPI), is designed to meet clinicians' most urgent needs around integration and data accessibility. This way, we offer successful solutions against health data inefficiencies affecting nearly half of the physicians and clinicians surveyed in the Klas report. Let's shape the future together with the power of interoperability, as always!
