The Reimagining Better Health study features a quantitative, double-blinded survey and qualitative interviews with:
patients who were hospitalized and patient advocates who cared for hospitalized patients
hospital-based clinicians with direct patient-care responsibilities, including physicians, nurses, technologists, technicians and therapists
qualitative interviews with clinicians, patients, patient advocates, healthcare researchers and policy experts
Regardless of country and healthcare model, clinical role, experience or demographics, the Reimagining Better Health study revealed that clinicians and patients share many of the same fundamental values and expectations about healthcare.
While clinicians and patients are aligned on the future of healthcare, the report identifies critical people, technology and process barriers that must be overcome, including:
Four out of ten clinicians are actively considering leaving the healthcare industry. How can workforce burnout be addressed?
Innovations in medical technology* are opening up new possibilities in patient care. However, many clinicians have concerns. How can the next generation of innovation ease the workflow burden?
While patients rank flexibility in how, where, and when healthcare services are delivered as their number one priority, they lack comfort in out-of-clinic facilities and staff. How can we ensure clinicians and patients are comfortable with a breadth of environments and healthcare partners?

* Questions relating to technology solutions addressed survey respondents general perceptions and experiences with technology within their facilities and made no reference to any specific solutions or vendors. Any references in this study to technology are inclusive of the entire spectrum of medical technology, such as medical devices, software solutions, electronic patient records and other digital workflow solutions.
