As technology changes, so do the capabilities and refinement of what health data can do for people, providers, and other community stakeholders. Recently, the Midlands Business Journal shared an article titled “Future of Health Care Tech: Plays Big Role in Access to Care,” about how CyncHealth and other organizations in Nebraska are doing their part to improve patient outcomes, and treatment options in the region.
Healthcare in Nebraska is undergoing a transformation, thanks to the adoption of AI and other new technologies. These tools, including robotic process automation, virtual reality, and telehealth, are not just improving care quality and accessibility, but also enhancing patient outcomes. Organizations like Nebraska Medicine and CyncHealth are at the forefront of these changes, a source of pride for many Nebraskans.
On the data side of things, healthcare has historically operated in a disparate or disconnected state, leading to increased costs, burden and stress for everyone involved—including patients. With the infrastructure CyncHealth provides, barriers are continually being broken down—giving people more freedom when seeking care and, in turn, empowering providers to deliver the best care possible.
“The evolution of advanced computing (not just AI) will influence how technology interacts with the clinician,” Bland said. “My hope is that it reduces the burden for providers, not contributes to even more clicks and scrolling for information. I see a future where data is much more organized and oriented to individualized care, accessible to more of the clinical providers and easily transformed into information and wisdom to guide care.”
