Digitizing information, technological innovations, and access to health care services should be given priority by the public and private sectors as a governance strategy to improving the quality of health care Filipinos get and raise the level of managing the COVID-19 pandemic.
Public and private sector groups have partnered since the pandemic gripped the world in raising the quality of health care in the country, as variants of concern continue to emerge and threaten the lives of millions of Filipinos already reeling from the economic impact of the restrictions imposed by the pandemic on jobs and businesses, BluePrint.PH chief executive officer Eero Brillantes said.
The best strategy is to invest more in the digitization of the health care sector as directed already by President Rodrigo Duterte and the Inter-Agency Task Force on COVID Management and linking health care with the public so they could access medical services without raising the level of risk, Brillantes said.
BluePrint.Ph, a data management and political communications and consultancy agency is gathering a group from both the public and private data and health care management to hold its first Data Newsroom Series on June 9 with a webminar on the importance of the ongoing digitization of the health care sector.
Globe Business, which is joining the Data Governance Forum in partnership with BluePrint.PH, stressed it continues to provide innovative digital solutions to enable the success of small and medium business enterprises, despite the enormous challenges of the pandemic.
As a trusted business advisor, Globe Business believes that digital technologies can also play a pivotal role in the transformation of healthcare institutions, to promote efficiency, reduce cost, and achieve overall quality healthcare for Filipinos.
Maridol Ylanan, Head of Strategy and Marketing for Small and Medium Business, said that Globe Business is leading strategic partnerships and collaborations with the country’s healthcare sector to implement the right digital solutions for efficient transactions and services.
“We believe that strategic alliances and collaborations are critical in establishing digital innovations in the healthcare sector, achieve efficient and affordable services, and improve the overall quality of healthcare for Filipinos,” said Ylanan.
Globe Business is committed to work hand in hand with the country’s healthcare institutions in future-proofing their establishments through the use of digital expertise and tools such as Hospital Information System (HIS).
HIS, offered in partnership with HYBrain, is intended to support healthcare institutions in providing efficient and faster data sharing, effectively cutting down the time to complete transactions, and eventually reduce cost.
Healthcare institutions can use this solution to efficiently process the admission and discharge processes, tag and track their assets, manage their human resources, effectively create an ecosystem within the hospital and their private doctors, automate submission of eClaims, infection prevention monitoring and control, and so much more. With the changing public expectations on safety, efficiency, and customer experience, coupled with the continuous evolution of digital healthcare technologies, and reinforced by the government’s push to modernize healthcare delivery, healthcare institutions must begin to consider the benefits of adopting a solution like the HIS.
According to Ylanan, the HIS comes with onboarding, training, and extensive after-sales support to ensure customer success. “We are a partner in the digital journey of our healthcare institution customers and we want to make sure that they are able to maximize their investments,” said Ylanan.
To make investments in digital solutions more accessible, Globe Business has partnered with BPI Business Banking to offer the Business Technology (BizTech) Loan Program, an exclusive term loan facility specifically for the purchase of ICT business solutions of Globe Business.
“As the country’s trusted innovative partner, Globe Business is committed to support the digitization and future-proofing of healthcare institutions to create a better experience for both patients and healthcare providers, and improve their services at reduced operational cost,” said Ylanan.
Brillantes said the June 9 event raises the ante in the promotion of public support for data governance to give focus to data governance and its importance in specific social or industry sector.
The June 9 Data Newsroom Series will feature the theme “Data Governance: Innovations and Collaborations in Response to the Pandemic,” with public and private sector representatives taking up the digitization of the health care sector. It will feature speakers from Globe Business, Department of Health, OCTA Research, University of the Philippines National College of Public Administration and Governance, and the National Privacy Commission.
