The Future of Global Health Care: A Rolling Revolution

Global Health Care

Throughout the past decade, " Global Health Care " has gone through an absolute revolution in service delivery. Exceptional advances in technology, an aging population, patient competency & awareness, economic realism, and the dramatic increase in pandemic pathologies such as diabetes, kidney failure, mental health illnesses, and bariatric trending have set the system, both locally and globally, into a state of crisis. "Wound Care," for instance, both acute and chronic/prevention to cure, will represent an $18.5 billion dollar global market by 2021. That being said, the resources provided to clinicians, patients, and health networks dealing with a growing spike in wound care demand, are increasingly under duress. The resources, in many cases, are simply NOT there.

The Battle Front of the Future in Global Health Care: More demand is being drawn from health systems with fewer dollars, the world over. Innovation is the only way forward.

In my personal experience, Ontario is advancing in this hostile climate with a spirit of true adversity, innovation, and vision. Hospitals are grouping together in order to pool resources, review industry best practices, standardize, and, most importantly, where applicable – REGIONALIZE SERVICE DELIVERY.

This is precisely where Community Patient Transfer Group (CPTG), a company I represent, has entered the threshold of change. CPTG has been at the forefront of such transformative change, responding to industry demand in the creation of an unprecedented models of service delivery.

The key to CPTG’s success throughout Ontario has been threefold:

1. The Model – centralized, standardized, regulated; 
2. The Community – everyone is stressed to the max; the community of health care delivers and receivers understand this – the solidarity of outcome is the space CPTG drives within, we are the stress relief; 
3. The Staff – CPTG has an unprecedented team of professional, reliable, and, most importantly, CARING patient care employees.

We, like so many others within this fluid space of revolutionary change, are trying to be leaders - in simple, but effective ways. As specialists in the dialysis, bariatric, senior, palliative, mental health, neonatal intensive care, & the airport medical repatriation transportation field we are truly honoured to work with all clinical, administrative, and procurement professionals.

The future must now come in the creation of a 'Forum of Medical Futurism; Bringing Together Different Aspects of the Same Industry Under Attack.' We can all learn from best practice methodologies and, most importantly, those new break-throughs in innovation.

So many of us within the medical field are dealing with the very same self evident truth – CHANGE.
