Advancing Healthcare Services with Innovative Technologies
Mental health is becoming more openly discussed in society, overlooking the stigma surrounding its struggles. In this edition of Healthcare Business Review, we explore the recent developments in the mental health space and how patients’ emotional and psychological needs can be improved through evidencebased therapies.
Prioritizing mental well-being is more about fostering a positive environment than managing stress. Rather than focusing solely on symptoms, adopting a multidisciplinary approach that combines traditional therapeutic methods with innovative, evidence-based practices can encourage open dialogue and promote healing. By helping patients reframe negative thought patterns, cognitive behavioral therapy empowers them to manage stress, depression and cognitive decline more effectively in long-term care settings. The global market for mental health services is set to grow from $448.23 billion in 2024 to $573.75 billion by 2033 at a CAGR of 2.76 percent.
This edition will also explore the latest trends in long-term care prescriptions and how companies are delivering prescription drugs and medical supplies to people who need long-term assistance. Some companies help manage complex medication regimens for patients with multiple prescriptions, while others offer medication synchronization services to facilitate refills and dosing schedules.
Proper staff training is also critical in delivering health care. Providers in long-term care settings must be equipped with the knowledge and skills to identify and address issues early on. Ongoing education in mental health care, including recognizing signs of distress and communication techniques, can help strengthen residents’ overall well-being.
We feature insights from industry experts like Audrey Neylon, system director of mental health and addiction, business solutions at Fairview Health Services, who specializes in implementing and revenue enhancement initiatives in healthcare organizations. We also feature Dr. Ruchita Agrawal, associate chief medical officer at Seven Counties Services, who believes transcranial magnetic stimulation is a life-changing tool for patients with treatment-resistant depression.
We hope this edition helps you find the right partner for your business requirements
