Full Description
Concrete, hands-on strategies for making healthcare more accessible for everyone
The Borderless Healthcare Revolution: The Definitive Guide to Breaking Geographic Barriers Through Technology is your field guide to a future in which a clinic visit is never farther away than the nearest screen and a surgeon's skill can cross oceans in real time. Drawing on two decades at the intersection of medicine and technology. including years as a senior leader at Oracle's global health division, Dr Sarah Matt translates frontier-grade innovation into day-to-day practice for clinicians, health-system strategists, and policymakers who refuse to accept geography as destiny.
Inside you will find concrete playbooks rather than platitudes; every framework has been piloted in settings that range from Manhattan cath labs to Kenyan community clinics. You will also meet the patients and providers whose lived stories prove that digital transformation works only when it works for everyone.
What you will learn:
The tech that already moves care without moving patients, telemedicine, remote surgery, ambient AI, and how adoption curves exploded after 2020, with more than three quarters of US hospitals now running telehealth programs
Human-centered design tactics that translate pixels into trust, from inclusive language pivots to offline-first apps that respect bandwidth deserts
A five-pillar access audit that flags physical, financial, cultural, digital, and trust barriers in any market, plus scorecards to track progress
Strategy checklists forged during Dr Matt's tenure at Oracle for aligning payers, regulators, and vendors around sustainable reimbursement models
Future-readiness briefs on robotics and mixed-reality training at a moment when the surgical robotics market is projected to triple by 2031
Whether you lead a rural health network, build digital products, or craft policy, The Borderless Healthcare Revolution: The Definitive Guide to Breaking Geographic Barriers Through Technology gives you the tools to expand access today and blueprint the borderless systems of tomorrow. Read it; then use it to deliver care that travels at the speed of need.
