For the healthcare providers , access to more precise data , improved diagnostic capabilities , and enhanced time management , will evidently result in better patient care .
Walker concludes : “ The devolution of healthcare from in clinic to at home – from doctor to patient – across all channels , will bring wide-reaching benefits , including faster access to more effective care , improved wellness and support , resulting in better patient outcomes .
“ There will of course be risks to mitigate as we transform to the future . Patients are not doctors or nurses , and digital savviness should not be confused with medical expertise . Finding the balance of patient decisionmaking at home vs via medical professionals in the clinic will undoubtedly be a delicate mission , but one that is critical to establishing a brave new equilibrium of healthcare .”
