- The Dominican Republic has made progress in adopting health technology.
November 2023.- New technologies are key to the effective development of digital health, making it possible to optimise processes, improve access to and analysis of data, and enable better communication and collaboration between health professionals. This not only saves time and resources but also has the potential to improve patient outcomes and the overall quality of healthcare.
The Dominican Republic has made progress in adopting health technology at a regional level, specifically in diagnostic technology. The big challenge lies in integrated systems for documentation and clinic operations that would allow the country to position itself with information, clinical protocols, electronic therapeutics and integration.
Fedor Vidal, CEO of Arium Salud Digital, explains: “There are several emerging trends in the healthcare and health tourism industry that could help destinations stand out, such as hospitals and providers with interoperable electronic health records that make it possible to connect and have patients’ relevant clinical information fully and bidirectionally at hand.”
It is important that these systems adhere to international standards and are interoperable, notes Vidal.
Health tourism destinations can take advantage of telemedicine to provide remote consultations, follow-ups and medical tourism facilitation services. They can also offer advanced telehealth infrastructure to attract patients who want the convenience of virtual consultations. “Integrating wellness tourism is important; combining medical services with wellness and holistic therapies would attract a wider range of patients,” adds Vidal. Integrating spas, wellness retreats and mental health services can make the destination a one-stop shop for overall well-being.
In addition, providing informative, user-friendly healthcare apps and online portals can optimise the medical tourism experience. This includes appointment scheduling, access to medical records and post-treatment follow-ups.
