As part of its agenda, the Department of Health has stated that both private and government hospitals should invest in ehealth and data for decision making.
De Luna was a guest speaker at the recently held 22nd Annual Convention of PACSSM where he tackled the topic “Innovation and Transformation in the Healthcare industry: Focusing on AI , IT and Remote Monitoring.” “In terms of inefficient policies, there is poor governance for data security. Many data or health information come from disparate systems and locations with different data formats and lacking in harmonization,” he said.
“The system scores hospitals in the Philippines and around the world relative to their digital maturity, providing a detailed road map to ease adoption and begin a digital transformation journey towards aspirational outcomes,” De Luna explained.Measuring evidence-based data at each stage, organizations use EMRAM to optimize digital work environments, improve performance, and financial sustainability, built a sustainable workforce and support an exceptional patient experience.
“Our goal is to guide, assist, and provide Philippine hospitals with innovative and highly-advanced technologies and systems in achieving HIMSS EMRAM Level 7 to improve patient safety, increase patient satisfaction, support clinicians and secure data,” De Luna said.To improve patient safety, De Luna said the team will evaluate and improve this by optimizing their EMR implementation to provide access to critical information when and where clinicians need it.
