The Integrated OR and Value-Based Care: Data Applications for Success

Healthcare has lagged behind other industries in embracing the most current tech developments, but broader adoption of Internet of Things technology in healthcare has paved the way for the data-integrated OR, which uses IoT technology to help surgical staff reduce administrative overhead, ensure best practices, and more acutely focus on delivering quality care.

As this is occurring, healthcare providers are also making a push toward value-based care. A response to the exorbitant cost of healthcare, value-based-care systems seek to improve patient outcomes while reducing hospital costs.

Because the OR is where hospitals make the majority of their revenue and where patients face the greatest risk of complications, it’s not surprising that these trends converge in the operating room. IoT technologies help surgeons meet the demands of increasingly complex medical procedures while also addressing the rising cost of healthcare.
