Despite the many advances that modern medicine has made thanks to technology, there is still room for more growth. Dr. Umapathy Panyala Chief Operating Officer for Apollo Hospitals, explained that the use of information technology is still one of the untapped opportunities for hospitals in this digital age.
“Use of information technology is one of the untapped opportunities that will strengthen the potential of the healthcare sector. This includes lack of seamless integrity between workstations. Also, data migration is associated with technical issues which need to be resolved. Use of lean and six sigma approaches wherever possible also helps improve hospital efficiency,” explained Dr. Panyala.
