In today's world, the necessity is growing out. The Covid 19 has turned the innovation in hospitals into a need of time. But the basic question is, are we really up to the mark to modernize and digitalize the hospitals through available technology, manpower to build required infrastructure? Are we ready to accept this challenge?

But the author's thoughts are not only limited to it. He has also mentioned in his book about the upgrading of the health care management system, which is a strong need of timekeeping in view of the current efficiency of the health care systems and standards around the world after the wave of COVID 19.The author has also shared the Advanced concepts of introducing block chain Technology in the Smart Hospitals, which are going to revolutionizing the era of medical terms and system transparency.

GETTING A DOCTOR'S APPOINTMENT SHOULDN'T BE HARDER THAN BOOKING A VACATION The US healthcare system excels in research, innovation, and clinical care, but is failing to keep up with the operational challenges of the digital age. Today's healthcare organizations face immense financial challenges, and their most valuable resources--people, rooms, and equipment--are being used inefficiently. The result? Long wait times for patients, overstressed staff, underused assets, and poor ROI for organizations. Why do health systems struggle with optimization? The fundamental problem is one of matching an unpredictable demand for services with a constrained supply. The math being used to solve this problem is a holdover from the paper-and-pencil era. In Better Healthcare Through Math, authors Mohan Giridharadas and Sanjeev Agrawal show you that there is a better way. Healthcare systems can harness the power of sophisticated, analytics-driven mathematics to optimize the matching of supply and demand. By upgrading to software systems built on better math, they can enable staff to make data-based decisions to flatten peaks of demand and create smoother patient flow.
