Impact of Software Innovation in Healthcare

According to recent studies, the use of software as a service (SaaS) solutions in health care is increasing at an unprecedented pace, spanning a wide variety of applications.

Fremont, CA: Healthcare organizations are dependent on software more than ever to help them achieve better patient outcomes. Healthcare companies understand the need to speed innovation and radically rethink how they develop apps as a result of the increased use of digital products in patient care. Many engineering teams have switched to continuous integration and continuous delivery (CI/CD) while designing and delivering applications due to this.

Feature flagging is one way to speed up development and maximize product output in the healthcare sector as teams look to enhance these vital software development processes.

Feature flags are toggles or switches that allow software development teams to activate or disable features. The primary benefit of feature flagging is that it speeds up app deployment. During creation, one or more features may be programmed into the program and made ready to use, but it is switched off for the user and/or patient when it is first implemented.

The ability to insert functionality inside applications that can be toggled on and off is ideal for the healthcare industry because it allows for regulatory approval(s) before full implementation.
