The WCAS Perspective on Healthcare Information Technology

WCAS has observed an increasing willingness among healthcare stakeholders to adopt technology-based solutions that increase the efficiency of care delivery, improve patient outcomes, enhance data collection and usability, augment patient access and support the shift to value-based care. In response, we are investing in software, data and technology-enabled services to help providers, payors, life sciences organizations and other healthcare stakeholders deliver high-quality, cost-efficient and accessible care to consumers and patients.

Trends We're Excited To Invest Behind

1
Accelerated adoption of software- and technology-based solutions broadly driven by technological innovation and regulation and promoting interoperability and data collection
2
The increasing need for automation to reduce manual processes, boost productivity, and ameliorate the impact of labor shortages
3
Growing demand for data analytics and insights to drive business and clinical strategies, ranging from patient engagement, to clinical decision support, to a drug’s commercialization strategy
4
Increased focus among healthcare stakeholders and the government to improve transparency, access and experience for consumers
