Patient Care Readiness in Asia Pacific

COVID-19 has forever changed the way we prevent, detect and manage diseases – transforming the role of patients as passive receivers of care and placing them at the centre of their health journeys.

As health systems redesign delivery models, patient-centric care will be crucial in not only improving health outcomes, but also helping to reduce healthcare costs and the burden on health systems.

Transitioning to such an approach needs to be supported by complementary policy measures, long-term financing and calls for a shift in behaviour among providers and patients. 

Join a panel of distinguished speakers as they discuss what it means to be patient care ready in Asia Pacific, including:

Trends and insights on the forces transforming care delivery across health systems 

Asia Pacific Patient Care Readiness Overview – are patients equipped to embrace a more central role? 

• The future of healthcare and role of stakeholders in designing a truly patient-centric and sustainable ecosystem

Panel discussion: Moving towards value-based healthcare – why diagnosing the right patient at the right time is the future of patient care

Diagnosing the right patient at the right time with the right care increases value for patients and directs effective treatment. This can reduce costs and increase efficiency by effectively utilising resources. While reforms were underway across many health systems well before COVID-19, the pandemic has hastened the need for tangible changes that incentivise proactive and preventative care. This panel discussion will explore why we need to urgently make the shift towards value-based healthcare (care that is based on health outcomes vs a fee-for-service model) that can improve individual and societal health.

Panel discussion: Are patients ready for a more proactive, central role in their health journey?

Growing public awareness together with the advent of innovations like at-home Rapid Antigen COVID-19 tests and cervical cancer self-sampling kits, has led to greater patient engagement and expectations from healthcare. As patients in Asia Pacific become more involved, are they equipped to play a more central role in the management of their health? This panel discussion will explore patient care readiness from the perspective of patients, and what more can be done to create a truly patient-ready approach.
