HEALTH IN THE 21ST CENTURY
Putting data to work for stronger health systems
The health sector faces a changing landscape and new challenges
Health spending is projected to continue to outgrow national incomes
Health expenditure as a share of GDP, projection to 2030

… but health system are slow to change…
People want to take control of their own health

8Many sectors have transformed themselves to harness digital opportunities
This has resulted in:
In health, the opportunities are clear
Effective, efficient and people-centered services
Better system management
More accurate surveillance
Power up research & innovation
Health care is rapidly ‘digitising’ … which is good

Data are available but not linked regularly, missing important opportunities

Routine health data are under-used in managing medical technologies

people to access their electronic medical record
43% of countries say that people
will be able to interact with their record
Too seldom people can interact with their own records
And the health workforce is not ready
30 to 70% of health professionals* report knowledge and skills shortages relating to digital tools and data analytics Outdated day-to-day work processes do not enable the digital technology to add value A digital tool is often a “black box” to a health worker or is not informed by workers’ and their patients’ needs
Skills mismatch Inadequate work processes Lack of involvement
* depending on category and countryICT expertise is short supply compared to other sectors

~GDP of Poland ~8% OECD health expenditureThis can deliver considerable health and economic dividends across OECD countries
Doubling what OECD countries invest in their information systems would still deliver a 3-fold return

“The key barriers to building a 21st century health system are not technological. They are found in the institutions, processes and workflows forged long before the digital era.”
