Carolyn Buck Luce Shares Thoughts on the Future of Telehealthcare

Carolyn Buck Luce

Carolyn Buck Luce, Managing Director at Imaginal Labs, shared her thoughts on the future of telehealthcare in a recent blog post. Carolyn presented at the Telehealthcare Leaders Forum, held April 17 and 18, 2013, in Newport, Rhode Island, and shared insights on how innovation can address dramatic changes in the healthcare system.

Carolyn’s blog post is insightful and reminds us that disruptive innovations are driven by unmet needs. Several key themes resonated for me as I read Carolyn’s blog post…

• Now is the time to act
•  Healthcare reform efforts by Medicare and Medicaid are fueling changes in how healthcare is delivered and emphasizing the need to improve patient outcomes and decrease costs
• Patients want a more active role in managing their health
• Healthcare providers and payers are incentivized to deliver better care and decrease costs
• Now is the time to innovate
• New technologies and tools are available to deliver health care more efficiently and less expensively
• New business models and strategies are being considered—players across the healthcare industry from providers, health systems, payers, home care agencies, and life sciences companies recognize the need to do business differently and put patients and their outcomes at the center of their business

I’d love to hear your thoughts on Carolyn’s post. Specifically, how are you and your organization using disruptive innovations and technology to enhance patient outcomes and decrease costs?
