Teruel, October 25, 2024.- In the case of dispersed ecosystems, technology plays a crucial role in allowing effective integration and collaboration between different levels and health professionals, regardless of their geographical location. “This improves accessibility, continuity of care and equity in healthcare,” explains Ana Vecino Soler, Member of the National Association of Nursing Directors (ANDE) in Aragon. “Through digital platforms, telemedicine and shared information systems, access to data and resources in real time is facilitated. This overcomes geographic barriers, improves coordination of care, and ensures that people can access effective preventive and rehabilitative programs and that patients receive continuous, high-quality treatment, regardless of where they are located. ”.
During the 1st Pre-Congress Day of the 24th National Congress of Hospitals and Health Management, which is being held yesterday and today in Teruel, under the title Dispersed Ecosystems. Technology as a catalyst for Innovation, The contribution of networking and technology in dispersed territories, as is the case of Teruel, is being analyzed. In the words of Ana Vecino Soler, “Connected Health Organizations optimize health management by facilitating the exchange of information and the coordination of services and levels of care. This allows a faster and more effective response to the needs of the population and in particular patients. As a result, the quality of health care is optimized in all its aspects, encompassing health promotion, health education, accurate diagnosis, effective treatment and comprehensive rehabilitation of both acute and chronic conditions.
Networking is essential for you. According to Julio Zarco Rodríguez, Managing Director of the Niño Jesús Children’s University Hospital, “In an open society where the systemic perspective makes relationships collaborative, socio-health organizations must seek efficiency, effectiveness and effectiveness through the concentration of experience and the creation of Nodes and Networks. This concept of N/R is structured and structured with technological support that allows sharing, interacting and even doing things from a distance.” This provides efficiency, better decision making and more personalized attention. “Connectivity between organizations allows for a more rational use of resources and greater patient satisfaction by facilitating accessibility and continuity of care”adds Ana Vecino Soler.
Technology plays a key role as a catalyst, although, in the words of Julio Zarco Rodríguez, “Technological innovation must be associated with organizational innovation and, in this way, facilitate interconnection. “Rhizomatic organizations generate adaptability, interconnectivity and dynamism.”
Zaragoza will become the capital of multidisciplinary, participatory and innovative Healthcare in 2025 at the 24th National Congress of Hospitals and Health Management, organized by the Spanish Society of Health Managers (SEDISA) and the National Association of Nursing Managers (ANDE). ). Throughout this Congress, the present and future of the provision of services will be analyzed and debated, integrating health and social services, guaranteeing the best health management for citizens, with quality and efficiency.
Technology and innovation
One of the biggest challenges facing the Health System is how to get all its actors aligned to face current challenges. “Technology has been revolutionizing the health sector for years, but now we are facing a disruptive, not evolutionary, leap,” explains Zoraida Soriano Gil, Director of the Knowledge and Innovation Production Area of the Aragonese Institute of Health Sciences. “The arrival of Artificial Intelligence and biocomputing has completely changed the rules of the game. It is not just about improving what we already have, but about transforming the way we diagnose, treat and manage health. This change leads us to such a profound transformation that we do not know exactly what the system will be like when we emerge from this process. Therefore, it is crucial to follow each advance millimetrically and ensure that its impact translates into real improvement for the patient.”
In this sense, this expert explains that “Artificial Intelligence and biocomputing are allowing things that were previously unthinkable, such as making diagnoses in seconds, personalizing treatments based on genomic data or predicting disease outbreaks through massive data analysis.”
The Aragonese Institute of Health Sciences (IACS) is committed to leading this disruptive transformation in the field of health. “Through projects like BIGAN, our healthcare data lake, we are harnessing the power of biocomputing to analyze large volumes of clinical data and turn it into applicable knowledge. We know that the impact of these advances will be profound, but we also know that we must closely follow each development, adapt quickly and always keep our eye on its effective transfer to the patient. Our focus is clear: guarantee that each technological advance in research and treatment has a direct impact on improving the health of citizens,” Zoraida Soriano Gil emphasizes.
