Startup CEO Points to a Tipping Point in Healthcare that Only Technology Can Solve
Zivian Health, Inc., a healthcare platform that empowers compliant collaborations between nurse practitioners (NP) and physician assistants (PA) to physicians, today declared the five most critical trends that will dramatically impact the healthcare industry in 2024. Healthcare organizations are scrambling for tech solutions to deal with the more than 2 million openings in healthcare annually, which is a growth of 40% and much faster than the average for all other occupations.
“The staffing shortage has created a tipping point in healthcare that only technology can solve,” said Dr. Rafid Fadul, Zivian founder and CEO. “We are witnessing firsthand where digital healthcare solutions are improving patient care and reducing burnout among providers.”
Dr. Fadul lists five trends that will chart the course for a transformative year ahead for digital healthcare:
- AI Takeover: Healthcare, the last frontier for AI, is set for a digital overhaul. AI-powered tools will liberate healthcare professionals from paperwork, streamline administrative documentation and elevate the precision of medical records.
- Entrepreneurial Surge: Physicians are flocking to SaaS platforms that unlock high-earning collaborations without the long hours and day-to-day stresses. Likewise, NPs are flexing their entrepreneurial muscles, starting their own healthcare organizations by harnessing the power of SaaS technology. This allows for less paperwork and more patient care, fostering a new era of healthcare entrepreneurship.
- Mobile Accessibility: Mobile-friendly SaaS platforms address the nearly 80% of the US deemed a ‘healthcare desert’, leaving patients without appropriate access to care. New technology will empower healthcare professionals to access patient data, collaborate and communicate securely from smartphones and tablets, improving flexibility and efficiency anywhere, anytime.
- Fortified Data Security and Compliance: SaaS platforms prioritize robust data security measures and compliance with healthcare regulations, like HIPAA, to safeguard patient information. This includes secure messaging and communication tools that comply with healthcare data privacy regulations. These tools will enable NPs, PAs and doctors to communicate with each other and with patients securely.
- Real-time Collaboration Tools: SaaS platforms integrate with remote monitoring devices, allowing NPs, PAs and doctors to track patient vitals and chronic conditions remotely, ushering in proactive care. Features, such as video conferencing, screen sharing, digital translations and interactive whiteboards facilitate seamless virtual collaboration among healthcare providers, transcending geographical boundaries.
Zivian Health recently raised more than $3 million and has generated thousands of interactions between hundreds of NPs, PAs and physician collaborators. The company enables NPs to become healthcare entrepreneurs and generate millions in income for both NP-owned and operated health organizations.
