Challenges in Digital Enablement
• Tremendous volumes of data from different and disparate
sources
• Data security and privacy
• Data visualization and intuitive user interface
• Remote access of data
• Adoption / usage
• Conviction on business and societal benefits

Healthcare expenditure constitutes 6.1% of country’s GDP
• Expenditure increases 15% every year
• Technology intervention to reduce the drain on country’s
resources

Application of Digital Technology needs to looked at from 3
perspectives
Pharma
Private Hospitals
Societal
Healthcare
• India is a paradox - world class hospitals providing state-of-the-art healthcare
while 700 million people in semi-urban and rural deprived of such facilities
• Digital Technology adoption is very different across these 3 perspectives
• Pharma – Promote innovation and accelerate drug discovery. Bring more
structured approach to clinical trials.
• Private hospitals – Motivation is higher bottom-line. Basic systems in place,
however structured approach / investments in digital technology missing
• Societal healthcare – Motivation is to solve societal problems. Lot of
initiatives, however efficacy is questionable.

Digital Technology for “collaborative” drug discovery
• Open Source Drug Discovery Portal
• Help collaborate and hasten discovery of drugs for malaria,
tuberculosis etc.
• TB is the leading cause of death from bacterial infection. An
estimated 370,000 deaths due to TB occur each year.
• Tries to follow the success of open source models in IT (Linux,
Web) and apply the same model for drug discovery
• OSDD contains
• Sysborg 2.0: A Wiki based genome annotation service
• Computational Resources for Drug Discovery (CRDD) is a platform for
open source tools for drug discovery
• TBrowse: Integrative genomics map of Mycobacterium tuberculosis
• OSDDPUB: Open Access Repository Document Repository
• OpenScience: Metadata archive and Search engine for Open Access
theses and dissertations

Benefits from Digital Technology enablement
Integrated Clinical /
Financial BI System
•Combines traditional data sources (such as general ledger, HR, cost accounting and
claims/revenue data) with rich clinical data systems
•Improves resource utilisation, Patient throughput, Proactive defect prevention
Patient throughput
and Logistics
management
•Delivers value by providing real-time, hospital wide visibility into operations
•Technologies such RFID for person and asset location; voice over IP for "everywhere"
communications
•Improves resource utilisation and Patient flow
•Reduces turnaround time, OPD/ER wait time, discharge time
Wireless Healthcare
Asset Management

•Usage of RFID / Zigbee
•Timely delivery of care, scheduling preventive maintenance etc.

Benefits from Digital Technology enablement (contd.)
E-visits / Video
visits
Home Health
Monitoring
Integrated Clinical
Data Repository
© 2010 Infosys Technologies Limited
•Structured, secure messaging between a patient and a provider for a well -defined and narrow
range of consultations, such as for nonemergency questions, prescription refills and routine
chronic disease management
•Enables cost reduction, increased patient satisfaction and improved clinician productivity
•Enables specialist interaction from rural areas
•Transmission of patient data to clinicians
•Improvements in the quality and timeliness of care, improve the accessibility of care, and reduce
travel time for patients and clinicians
•Aggregation of granular patient-centric health data usually collected from multiple-source IT
systems and intended to support multiple uses
10
Societal Healthcare – some Digital Technology interventions
• Telemedicine
• Enables remote medical diagnostics and services
• Key is “reliable” and “fast” communication infrastructure
• Huge reduction in costs and time
• Emergency Health Services
• Intelligent routing of ambulances using GPS
• Call center data analytics for improvement in service levels
• IMR / MMR reduction
• Usage of mobile based supply chain management
• Integrated Disease Surveillance
• “Data analytics” to find out trends of communicable disease spread

Summary of key Issues in Indian healthcare and how technology
can help
Key Issue
How Technology can help?
Lack of awareness and health/nutrition
education
Patient enablement through portals,
mobile applications and social
networking sites.
Shortage of facilities leading to
overcrowding
Remote healthcare, Tele-consultation,
self-service kiosks
Severe shortage of trained health
personnel
Automation of care processes, optimal
utilization of skilled staff
Lack of accountability
Easy to search and analyze electronic
medical records
Rural/Urban differential
Telemedicine for rural outreach
Affordability
Reducing cost of care through
integrated IT, data sharing and increased
patient safety
Insufficient IT funding
Monitor benefits realized from IT
investments

Successful Healthcare IT Models : Healthcare Information
Exchange
CONFEDERATED
CENTRALIZED
Data Users
Central
Database
Migrating all the
data f rom
dif f erent
systems in all
the dif f erent
locations to
Centralized
Repository.
This would be a
monumental
ef f ort - time
consuming and
a bit expensive
but once done
you will have a
true centralized
repository.

In this you
would need to
maintain a
clinical
metadata and
access
selectively and
as required the
data from each
local system
with the use of
EMPI and
Edge proxy
servers.
FEDERATED
Data Users
E
Data Sources
Keep all the
data in local
repositories
and extend it
to all the
hospitals and
clinics f or
use. Involves
lesser cost
investment
to begin with.
