What have we learned about healthcare recently?
It’s human nature that we don’t think about health much until we are forced to deal with an issue. Some of us might go to the gym or watch what we eat, but how many of us are truly serious about looking after these amazing bodies we inhabit?

The pandemic shifted legacy practices almost overnight
It’s ironic that a virus had the same effect on the healthcare system itself. Suddenly the healthcare system was under siege and our legacy approaches seemed to be inefficient and incapable of dealing with the strain successfully. I don’t mean that healthcare failed but it’s been under severe strain.

Covid accelerated healthcare’s use of technology and digitization
Suddenly logistics and communication platforms were transformed or even implemented for the first time.?We are all slightly trepidatious when it comes to change. We love habit, predictability, and perceived normality. Who wants the stress of ignorance or lack of confidence about new tech.? Unfortunately, Covid wasn’t interested in history and managing this pandemic required the shock of the new.

It became clear very quickly that working in silos was doomed
Treating patients in anything but a more holistic manner seemed archaic. Failing to make healthcare patient-centric is another effect of these changes.
Healthcare is about partnerships and each one of us know our bodies. We may come to a surgery armed with internet medicine, but our own observations have a small part to play. We are not numbers or statistics, but human beings and a more patient centric approach is likely to create dividends in healthcare outcomes.

As a healthcare executive recruiter, I see the trends and changes in what healthcare organizations require
CFOs and CEOs have increased areas of responsibility. Breaking down the communication silos is one important one, so is increasing accountability and transparency. We all want to feel empowered. We may be patients, but we are individuals that want to have complete trust in the healthcare services we are being offered.

Working fast and effectively has never been more desirable
Hospitals and other healthcare organizations also need to plan and build systems and strategies that will scale easily depending on need or a crisis. No matter where these organizations are located or the demographics, they serve to scale effectively is something that requires more deliberate thought. ?To be able to mitigate surges in demand during a health emergency like the one we have been experiencing is key. In addition, the ability to distribute the resources available at the time in a seamless manner that engenders confidence will underpin planning moving forward. Photo: Marcelo Le

All healthcare providers are chasing perfection
At the endpoint what hospitals and healthcare providers want to do is to provide an excellent service that fulfils specific needs. In addition, it has a duty of care towards hardworking staff that have been stretched almost out of shape. Therefore, an improvement in the communication of teams to improve efficiency and effectiveness is something that is taking a lot of brain space right now. Whether you study this state-wide, regionally or on a local basis these are key considerations for the future. We are privileged and proud to help recruit healthcare executives to help make these changes happen to benefit everyone
