HIMSS 2024 – It Is A Tough Time to Be In Healthcare Right Now as Budgets Continue to Be Tight. What Sign of Hope and Excitement Do You Have Looking Forward?

It is a tough time to be in healthcare right now for a multitude of reasons, but the one that we are going to focus on today is the budgets that continue to be tight. There are so many new and exciting ideas happening in healthcare that could be a huge help to your organization – if you can only find the budget to support implementing and sustaining those ideas. Unfortunately, that is becoming a harder and harder task to do. This is a problem that will take time to fix, so in the meantime what sign of hope and excitement do we have to look forward to? At the HIMSS 2024 Conference, we asked that question to our incredibly talented Healthcare IT Today Community. The video below is a compilation of their answers.

Kirsten Jacobsen, VP of Marketing and OmniChannel Engagement at RevSpring
I think it’s a great opportunity today as healthcare organizations are looking for ways to provide a more consistent and cohesive experience to their patients. There’s a great opportunity for them to carve out costs, remove silos, and provide better solutions for their patients as well as use technology to reduce the burden on the staff. One of the ways that we’re seeing healthcare organizations do that is really looking at technology solutions more holistically as opposed to point solutions which is a really effective way for them to reduce costs, provide better staff experiences, as well as better patient outcomes.

Caroline Chisolm, Business Development Manager at Coforma
The thing I’m probably the most excited about is, there’s been so much buzz around AI and all of the sexy things that it can do and how it’s really going to transform the space, but what I think I’m the most excited about in terms of budget constraints are the boring things that AI can do. The things that can make our healthcare system today whole – the paperwork, the administrative, that all the things that we just don’t have time to do so that patients can get better care for a lower dollar value. So really bringing more care for a lower cost to the American people is what I’m most excited about.

Susan Machutt, APRN-BC, ANP, VP and Medical Director at Discern Health
I think as we look at this particular population and we look at resources, I think resources are continued to be stretched so anything that we can do to try to help mitigate that situation, especially with the geriatric population. When we think about the ability to help guide both providers and patients in their ability to look at some trajectories for their health and make decisions appropriately, I think that would be a huge help to be able to offset some of those constraints due to resources.

Sandeep Allam, Executive Chair and President at Syra Health
Well, for us it’s been an exciting time – we continuously are actually winning contracts and a lot of wins in multiple states. Our service lines are into a lot of units with behavior and mental health, with population health, healthcare workforce, digital health, and a lot of this. So our focus is our primary customers to start with. Of course we work with payers and providers and the life senses companies, but it is an exciting time for us. It has set us on a good path of success with continuously winning this contracts in multiple states. I think the journey is going to continue – healthcare is something that is only going to go forwards, it’s not going to go backwards. There are going to be opportunities, there are going to be funding and I think you just have to keep your focus and make sure that you continue the journey of winning.

Jacob Valdez, Director of Sales at Teguar
I think one of the things that we’re doing as a company is looking at how can we do things better. So maybe the revenue is not there that we expected at this point, we’re looking to see how can we optimize what we have, how can we give better customer service. So I think that’s one area that we’re going to see a lot more attention paid to to give customers that great experience so then we can continue to grow together. As far as a pipeline consider, we’re still seeing that so I think there’s hope for the rebound to come out towards the end of the year, for people getting back, opening their wallets, and spending money to get back into the revenue track.

Pravin Pant, VP of Advanced Analytics at ZeOmega
I’ve always been hopeful in healthcare, there is always opportunities there to improve patient care and also improve the member satisfaction/patient satisfaction. One of the things I see that’s making me very hopeful here is obviously social determinants of health is one, but also generative AI. Applications of generative AI within healthcare is really going to make a lot of differences. It’s going to improve member engagement obviously and then I think the second thing it’s really going to improve is provider satisfaction – which will result in better quality care, efficient care, and a great satisfaction within the member and provider world.

Nolan Parker, Chief Growth Officer at ROOK
Really, technology is leading the way. I don’t know if there’s ever been a time where it wasn’t tough in this world in the space that we operate. But technology both for capturing more data about users as well as technology that lets us unlock and tap into what we can do with that data is really paving the way for the future. What we’re seeing is more companies leverage things like wearable data, glucose monitor data to learn more about users to improve both preventative health and care for chronic conditions throughout the care journey. So we’re really impressed by what we’re seeing people doing with the data that we supply in a FHIR compliant manner and really what that’s unlocking in terms of overall care. I know it’s tough times right now but really we are continuing to deliver better service in terms of healthcare and we’re able to do it at scale in a truly personalized manner.

Jean-Claude Saghbini, President and Chief Technology Officer at Lumeris Value-Based Care Enablement
There is light at the end of the tunnel, the way that I see it is in the energy that’s being created behind value-based care. It’s picking up steam, it’s going to be the true representation of getting the US healthcare system into a better state. We’re seeing a lot of energy behind it, lots of technology is coming to enable it, the advent of rapid improvements, AI, and generative AI are certainly going to be a big boost for that.

Craig Mengert, CEO at TriZetto, a Cognizant Company
I’m really excited because I do see a lot of clients coming to Cognizant and TriZetto and saying ‘how do I reduce my administrative cost because I want to utilize that savings to invest into generative AI and other technologies that are out there to help me enable my platforms to work with my consumers, my patients, and my providers.’ So we’re actually reducing cost, we’re enabling them to invest in Cognizant and in TriZetto where then we’re enabling that platform of generative AI where it helps them basically enhance the patient experience as well as a provider experience.

Robert Droppa, GM, Government and Healthcare Solutions at DT Research
I think in a lot of industries in general, there’s a lot of pressures to do more with less. So in the healthcare industry what we’re doing is some of the technologies that DT Research is providing allows the doctors to have more patient visits and meet more people based on telehealth applications. Our medical grade all-in-ones helped them to do that within the four walls of a hospital but then out rugged tablet lines also help them to take that mobility out into the field and still be able to meet people in remote places, have these appointments more frequently with people to solve meeting people’s needs more with less.

Dr. Sandeep Wadhwa, Global Chief Medical Officer at 3M Health Information Systems
We are really excited by some advances in technology that we think will really help assist in one of the areas of focus for us which is rev cycle. We’re really excited that we can support rev cycle professionals with what we’re calling autonomous coding where for low-complicated, low-complexity cases a human may only need to review, or not review at all, and they can help practice at a higher level of functioning. That’s one are of importance for us and we’re also excited about ways to support the physician documentation to get it right the first time with gentle nudges that are helping to support complete and accurate documentation.

Jitin Asnaani, Chief Product Officer at Rhapsody
What I’m really excited about is two things, there are two aspects to it. One is the number of options to be able to participate in the care of the patient, the devices, the digital therapeutics, the digital health services, data services, the technology services has proliferated and has started to mature, like they’re actually really good services that have proven ROI and they’re starting to see that in the industry as they get adopted. And on the flip side, we have opportunities to bring those innovations together in a way that’s very sensible. We’re very excited as a digital health enablement platform to be able to enable organizations with limited budgets to be able to pull in many innovations that they’re interested in, that they’re getting pressured to actually implement in their organizations without looking at each one as a different point project that requires a whole set of resources which they no longer have. I’m really excited by that kind of opportunity to bring these things together. So yes you have limited budgets, yes that sounds sort of negative, but actually it’s a forcing function to make better, more efficient decisions.

Eduardo Ortiz, CEO at Coforma
I think AI is going to be one of those things. There are a lot of road tasks that clinicians, caregivers, and anyone involved in the healthcare space is spending quite a bit of time doing and I think that artificial intelligence, gen AI, will be able to help with those things. Activities that take a lot of time and take a lot of just mental capacity to achieve what often are menial tasks are things that we can definitely put gen AI and AI in general to address and to enable clinicians, caregivers, and everyone involved in that space to contribute to the care of patients and those that need healthcare support.

Tom Foley, Chief Growth Officer at GenieMD
Physicians and clinicians are always asked to do more. At the end of the day, we have an older, ager, sicker population with less doctors and nurses – that is an untenable situation. As well the fee structure from a physician fee schedule continuing to be decreased. Physicians are always asked to do more with less and at the end of the day this is where virtual care is going to create a dominant factor in how we transform the delivered care model moving forward. But it’s not enough for a virtual care company to say ‘hey, I can increase your medication inherence, I can reduce your emergency room visits, I can reduce your hospitalizations.’ That’s great, we do that too but if the patient still has a chronic condition – I’m still obese, I still have a cardio problem, I still have diabetes – what are we doing to improve that patient’s state of health that would multiply that saving if you will in the context of value-based care. Just because I’m obese doesn’t mean I have to stay obese, I can lose weight, but the patient engagement is going to be the key benefactor of how we transform the delivery of care moving forward.

Claire Reilly, RN, MSc, CNIO at Imprivata
I feel it’s my full time job of engaging clinicians with our sales team in Imprivata to make sure we’re on the pre-sale cycle and on the deployment side of the house and on the optimization so that when we’re selling our software, we’ve got to engage end users. We can no longer just put technology in front of end users – doctors, nurses, EVS staff, transporters – they don’t have the bandwidth to barely do the job that they’re showing up to do. We need to make sure that we deliver that technology, we understand their workflows, and we understand their footprint. So my team, that’s our full-time job – making sure we’re coupled with the sales, making sure that we address what the needs are, and that when we do sell it to them, we deploy them and it’s no surprise to the end user, and it’s a much more seamless transition. Then of course, they’re using technology, it’s efficient for me, both of those give us security which is obviously what we aim for.

Wendy Deibert, CNO at Caregility
We’re seeing a lot of excitement, especially with healthcare systems. Even though money’s tight, budgets are tight (and they’ve been tight since COVID), the nursing shortage has driven up the rates on nurses, and it’s just harder to deliver care, we are seeing that telehealth is really taking hold since COVID. We are now seeing that people are putting a device in every room or a video camera in every room to be able to deliver that care so that any clinician/physician/specialty can come in and help that patient or help the bedside from the distance so if you don’t have those resources having to move a care takes time. It takes a nurse having to roll down the hall or a tech to roll down the hall to get that care to the right place but having a device in any place is going to increase productivity and efficiency of your clinicians at the bedside and really augment them to deliver the best care ever.

Nicky Shaw, Storm Interface, Chairperson at Kiosk Association Committee
My hope is as we see, yes budgets are tight and it’s often difficult to find and attract high quality talent, specifically for front counter positions and things so those people are often being replaced with self-service kiosks. However, in their haste to roll out these kiosk programs because of staffing shortages, lots of facilities are forgetting the importance of accessibility. We’re here to let people know and people are starting to understand that to make sure that it’s the most usable experience for all patients they do need to think about accessibility and that’s where we can help through the Kiosk Manufacturer Association and Storm Interface.

Richard Staynings, Chief Security Officer at Cylera
I think there’s great opportunities for healthcare to increase its efficiency through automation through artificial intelligence and other forms of machine learning, for example, which are taking hold of healthcare. That allows us from a cybersecurity perspective to also automate the process of securing our healthcare and that’s going to be a major step forward.

Khue Tran, Chief Security Officer at Azalea Health
Azalea Health actually serves the underserved market, rural healthcare, so budgets are even tighter for them. We try to provide as much value and ROI as possible to them. Starting with our platform we actually see a 30% reduction in time spent charting and a 50% reduction in time spent billing; then if they use all of our products, including RCM, it actually increases to 75% time reduction. Providing that kind of value to providers is really critical during this time because if they can get that time back, then that’s more time spent focused on their patients and then get home to their families because of all the staffing shortages. What’s really exciting during this time is also all the partners that I see here at HIMSS, and going back to the marketplace I want to plug that in and offer more integrated solutions because that provides more value especially with something like ambient scribing – that completely removes all this manual work that they’re doing today.
