According to the 2016 Future Health Index, three quarters of healthcare professionals surveyed in the US believe that an integrated healthcare system is important, yet only about half of them (52%) see US healthcare as somewhat integrated today.
The US ranked 6th out of 13 countries surveyed for the Future Health Index. While the U.S. scores just above average on healthcare access and connected care device adoption, it falls below the average on healthcare integration, indicating that U.S. is missing opportunities to realize the full benefits of ‘connected care’ technology when they are powering integrated health.
