Bangalore: Eyeing the $24-billion US healthcare market, Wipro Technologies has launched its NextGen Care Management solution.
This solution is aimed at primary care physicians and healthcare providers and is tailored for the US healthcare market. Wipro's NextGen Care Management solution enables physicians to drive patient participation in devising a personalised care plan with defined care goals, treatment plan and health improvement activities.
The built-in collaboration platform in the solution uses tools such as SMS, chat, alerts, reminders, activity workflows and helps in reducing cost by avoiding treatment overlaps, multiple clinical tests or hospitalisation.
The solution built on Salesforce.com's social enterprise platform for employee facing apps is compatible with devices such as smartphones, tablets and integrates with remote patient monitoring. This is delivered on the cloud.
The world's largest economy had its medical care in shambles and in 2009 President MR Barack Obama passed the healthcare bill that increased healthcare coverage to about 30 million Americans who were previously not covered.
Since then, insurance providers have had to manage the huge influx of patients, which, in turn puts a lot of stress on their IT systems and is estimated to increase their investments by $3-$5 billion in a year.
“The concept of patient-centric care management is encouraging healthcare organisations to adapt innovations in managing chronic diseases, treating remotely. Wipro's solution is capable of transforming the current reactive, episodic, fragmented care delivery system into a foundation of partnership between payer, provider and patient to co-manage, monitor and measure delivery of care,” said Mr Mohd Haque, Vice-President, Healthcare Vertical, Wipro Technologies.
