Healthcare is at a turning point toward a digital future. In response to the COVID-19 pandemic, digitalization is being established faster than ever. This new podcast series “Shaping the future of healthcare” enables clinical experts and researchers around the globe to share their experiences from the various focal points of the crisis. Guided by Siemens Healthineers Managing Board Member Christoph Zindel, different discussion partners provide deeper insights into their institutions, the impact of the pandemic, and share strategies on coping with the new reality.
Our guest speaker in the first of a new series is Alexander Norbash, MD, Professor and Chair of the Radiology department at the University of California San Diego School of Medicine. In his view, the crisis is above all a balancing act between the different needs of the medical staff, changing operational procedures, and financial challenges. One of his learnings: “Teamwork enhanced by digital tools is here to stay.” Therefore, especially telemedicine can bring resources to those who don't have access, reducing disparities in care for diverse patient groups and populations.
Tune into this episode to hear this exchange on how their teams are handling crisis management processes, and the importance of embracing diversity and inclusion in order to foster innovation.
