Healthcare providers and insurers look to digital records and tools to boost quality and efficiency, with GenAI emerging as next major trend, ISG Provider Lens™ report says
STAMFORD, Conn.: $III #DigitalHealthcare--Healthcare companies in the U.S. are sharply focused on digital transformation and adoption of digital health tools, according to a new research report published today by Information Services Group (ISG) (Nasdaq: III), a leading global technology research and advisory firm.
The 2023 ISG Provider Lens™ Healthcare Digital Services report for the U.S. finds that healthcare providers and health insurance companies are increasing their use of digital health tools to enhance the efficiency, accessibility and quality of care. Through integrated electronic health records (EHRs) and patient-facing apps, organizations are monitoring patients more closely, streamlining data-sharing among providers and delivering personalized wellness information to patients.
“A powerful wave of modernization is transforming the U.S. healthcare industry,” said Bob Krohn, partner, Healthcare, for ISG. “As knowledge grows about the social determinants of health, companies are using technology to improve health equity and focus more closely on outcomes.”
Providers and insurance companies are working together to identify the most vulnerable individuals and engaging with communities, homes and workplaces to promote behavioral changes that can improve overall health, the report says. EHRs, machine learning and predictive analytics play critical roles in this process.
Using advanced data models and algorithms, combined with social determinants of health, providers are taking a more holistic and personalized approach to care, including earlier diagnoses and better prevention, ISG says.
A growing number of providers and insurance companies in the U.S. are partnering to provide more cost-effective services, especially under Medicare, the report says. In value-based care focused on outcomes, health systems play a more active role in risk management and incentives to prioritize quality over quantity. This approach is helping providers gain a competitive edge and pursue growth opportunities.
Generative AI (GenAI) is emerging as the next major wave of technology to be adopted in the industry, with many providers committing to major investments in the next five years to develop GenAI solutions, ISG says. These could include GenAI copilots to reduce workloads and ease clinician burnout.
“In the next two years, ISG expects GenAI to have such a broad impact on healthcare technology and economics that every active project will be re-assessed,” said Jan Erik Aase, partner and global leader, ISG Provider Lens Research. “Technology service providers are preparing to help enterprises navigate these changes.”
The report also explores other healthcare technology trends in the U.S., including the rise of integrated health platforms and growing demand for electronic medical record migration services.
