Healthcare Computers on Wheels Roll With a Changing Economy

In 2023 and beyond, the healthcare industry is facing the challenge of reordering workflows and productivity to fend off rising costs that will inevitably be transferred to the patient, making healthcare even more unaffordable than it currently is. Within the healthcare delivery sector, a fleet of cutting-edge mobile medical workstations on wheels addresses the four imperatives necessary to thrive in the coming years, as outlined by McKinsey & Company.

McKinsey and Company’s Four Imperatives for Healthcare Delivery

According to the global management consulting firm, healthcare is set to undergo an acceleration in costs of $600 billion by 2027. A report from the last recession (2007-2009), indicated that the most resilient companies meaningfully reordered their sectors to accommodate change with flexibility and foresight. They ultimately outperformed their competitors, with nearly 70% remaining on the top quintile of performers through 2019.In order to thrive in the coming years, healthcare delivery businesses must do the following:

  1. Improve healthcare by transforming the delivery of care
  2. Improve clinical productivity
  3. Apply new and existing technology
  4. Simplify administrative procedures
