Ladies and gentlemen, all of you are very welcome to the ‘Turning Point’ TV show, the show where we find answers to the burning questions of our guests about various topics. Today’s episode will cover the infrastructure and service quality in Hong Kong’s healthcare system, issues regarding access to medical care, and various technologies that can speed up the process and ease the burden on providers. Besides that, special guest Jennifer Lopez will join us.
What Are the Infrastructure and Service Quality Challenges of Hong Kong Healthcare System?
In the healthcare systems of Hong Kong, there is a lot of pressure that arises from the high hospital bed occupancy rates. The service quality is also subpar due to scarce hospital resources. These result in delays in treatment and the time taken to receive medical attention is far below the average that is acceptable. Equipment malfunction also is a big factor in the problem.
Besides, multi-skilled workers and the influx of foreign specialists in some organizations are two ways to mitigate multifaceted labor shortages in healthcare.
What Are Access to Medical Care Issues Conducive to Healthcare System in Hong Kong?
Basically, medical care providers’ accessibility is one of the accessible healthcare solutions in one way. Public hospitals not giving priority to the firm are another issue for access to medical care. Meanwhile, the lack of specific services in facilities, the formation of long queues, and the high cost of private healthcare are the other major factors affecting most patients seeking medical help. Most patients are not aware of their needs and many of them do not have alternatives to their medical treatments.
The health sector absorbs the network data from more than one source to provide better services to healthcare organizations and the general public. Hospitals integrate these channels as a part of their marketing strategy to attract more patients.
What Are the Technologies That Can Make the Work Easier and Reduce the Stress on Providers?
More importantly, technological advancements have a huge impact on the health of the world. For example, wearable devices and health applications help track your health and enable you to live your life more healthily. Blockchains can help in health data management to a significant extent by decentralizing medical databases and providing access to researchers.
More devices are being developed to promote health and empower users with self-management tools, which would lead to confronting chronic diseases. For instance, Ins-Med, a distribution channel for prefilled insulin syringes, and Medtronic provide patients with self-management tools and aids.
We cannot fail to mention the significance of artificial intelligence in the healthcare sector. AI applications are used to collect data and then advise providers on the best approach to the treatment.
What special insights about the healthcare sector will Jennifer Lopez share with us?
Hey, say hello to our special guest, Jennifer Lopez!
Healthcare is a human right and people should not have to spend their savings to get quality health services. Lopez mentioned that this is an essential fact. During a visit in Africa, where she seen people suffering from HIV/AIDS, she felt the draw to improve the conditions.
‘I decided to work with them to help these individuals get access to necessary treatments, education, and prevention strategies for HIV/AIDS. I believe that healthcare should be a right and not just a privilege,’ cited Lopez. Many doctors and healthcare workers don’t think twice about their lives and families and are unable to deliver their services to individuals or groups who want them because of political insecurity or conflicts wherever they happen to be.
‘As a result, I have encountered obstacles, but I don’t slack off. I always find a possible way to get around them,’ she added.
