Question

What will the future of healthcare administration jobs look like in five to ten years ?

How will healthcare systems evolve to best leverage a global market for their services ?

Answer 1

Ans) The next 10 years, for an example,where robots will perform routine operations, freeing up hospital staff and surgeons to perform more complex surgeries, where body parts will be 3D-printed on site, where patient records and registrations will update in real time, and where you will arrive and leave by an autonomous shuttle service.

- The surgery is a success. You’re lying in bed enjoying a virtual reality experience designed to reduce the reliance on medication and make you feel calmer. The sensors are doing their part; you switch views on the headset to see a picture of your body in real time with data overlays showing you your biometric signs and the data transmitted from your new hip.

- It’s time to go. As you’re followed through the hospital in your autonomous chair by a nurse, he explains that a robot care assistant has already been assigned at your home. He jokes he has a friendly teddy bear face.

- At home, the embedded smarts have already received updated information from your medical records and adjusted living conditions to suit. Your healthcare insurance plan subscriptions have been adjusted, your utilities are moved to a new plan while you convalesce, all transactions and contracts recorded on blockchain.

- Alarms have automatically been set to remind you to take the right medication where prescribed, and your robot care assistant stands waiting to help you.

Welcome to patient aftercare in 2027, where on-site robot care assistants will augment nurse home visits, where your smart home devices act as your health monitors, where the home AI will relay your progress to your GP surgery in real time, update your medical records, track progress, and adjust accordingly compared to national records, where your subscriptions for utilities and third-party plans are adjusted in real time until you recover.

This is just one future example, but the scenario painted has a far bigger impact than on just healthcare. Consider the technologies used:

Internet Of Things, sensors:
3D printing
Virtual reality
Robotics, AI, machine learning
Enterprise resource planning, supply chain management
Big Data, cloud, real-time analytics
Autonomous vehicles
Blockchain

- As the US healthcare system seeks ever greater innovation to harness the potential presented by technology in solving many critical issues, the importance of services and technology businesses will continue to grow. The profit pool in this rapidly growing, dynamic market presents exciting opportunities, significant risks, and long-term structural questions for both those who are building businesses in this sector today and those in the broader healthcare value chain they serve which evolves to best leverage a global market for their services.
