The World Health Organization is unequivocal, “We can’t care for patients properly, if we don’t invest in the health of our professionals. This means also committing to feeding their minds. A healthy workforce is essential to enabling healthy populations.” Leading healthcare organizations are already taking steps to deliver more personal, motivating and future forward learning in partnership with medical device manufacturers, such as Philips. The impetus for the construction of an educational ecosystem is often stimulated by concerns about how new technologies
such as robotics and AI could affect job roles and how to prepare people to use them. And yet, to fundamentally transition to the future of changing healthcare work, we must focus on equipping our human talent with the right workforce-skill mix and developing specific processes and technologies to support that work.
As Melissa Kenig from Philips Education Services comments: “As we accelerate towards digital transformation, the people behind the machines can sometimes get forgotten or left behind. And yet, the best technological solutions won’t make the impact that’s hoped for it, if the people operating and using them haven’t been taught how to use them to achieve their outcomes. Research has shown that stakeholders who invest in the right mix of skills can help accelerate digital transformation while achieving a happy, motivated workforce. And, of course, learning isn’t a nice to have. It’s a mandatory for effective care.”

Ecosystem. It’s a term that has entered common parlance from technology but, as our Operational Intelligence approach to servicing connected healthcare operations indicates, running the effective hospitals of the future will necessitate an integrated combination of people, processes and technology. This is especially true when it comes to defining the healthcare educational experiences of tomorrow.
Healthcare is first and foremost a people business and, while technology is streamlining and optimising the ecosystem, the provision of quality care depends inevitably on the ability of the healthcare organization to ensure that it has the right professionals with the right skills in the right place at the right time.
Caring for patients requires caring for the professionals, supporting their professional development and satisfaction. This visualization explores how to navigate the age of opportunity and empower the next generation of healthcare professionals with the skills and mindsets future healthcare needs.
