Driving Innovations that Improve Care
Technology has changed the way people do business across the globe and made everyone more efficient and connected. It is also transforming our health care system, by improving patient safety and quality.
Health plans are leveraging technology to improve systems that result in greater efficiencies and improved care. We are working with doctors, pharmacists and others to build secure systems to safeguard important medical data that can give patients the option of quickly and securely providing their medical history to a new doctor. Innovative partnerships with academic institutions and governments are promoting patient safety by warning doctors, pharmacists and patients about harmful prescription drug interactions. These are just two of many innovations that health plans and their partners are working on to improve health and our health care system.
