ARTICLE SUMMARY:
How can surgical robotics manufacturers deliver targeted innovations that dramatically improve patient outcomes and cost-efficiency in healthcare? It’s about developing procedural solutions that clearly surpass what humans can achieve. Clinical and financial benefits need to be tangible and measurable, so end-users can build a robust business case for investment. By Rob Morgan, VP Medical, Sagentia.
Today’s healthcare providers are faced with complex, often conflicting, demands surrounding the need for efficiency and effectiveness. Patient volumes, demands and requirements are growing faster than budgets. So, there’s increasing pressure to improve clinical outcomes and patient-reported outcome measures (PROMs) while reducing the overall cost of the care cycle. From a surgical perspective, robotics could represent part of the solution to this challenge.
