How Low-Code Solutions Drive Digital Transformation in Quality and Patient Safety Whitepaper

Low-code solutions refer to an approach to software development that enables faster delivery of applications through minimal hand-coding. These low-code platforms provide visual development environments with drag-and-drop functionality, pre-built templates, and ready-to-use components that simplify the app creation process. This allows non-technical users within the healthcare staff to create custom applications for tasks like patient management, appointment scheduling, or clinical workflows without the need for extensive IT support.

Low-code platforms streamline development processes, making it faster and more cost-effective for healthcare organizations to implement digital solution that meet their specific needs.

Low-code solutions can enhance operational efficiency by automating repetitive tasks, improving data management, and optimizing patient care processes. For example, a hospital might use a low-code platform to build an app for keeping up-to-date with and managing compliance with healthcare regulations.

Because these platforms are highly customizable, healthcare organizations can easily adapt them to their workflows, ensuring that the applications integrate seamlessly with other healthcare systems and stays up-to-date with changes. The ultimate goal of a low-code solution is to improve workflow efficiency without dedicating excessive time or resources to the development process.

One of the overarching benefits of low-code solutions in healthcare is their ability to accelerate the development and use of applications, saving time, resources, and costs. Traditional software development often requires extensive time for coding and testing, whereas low-code platforms allow healthcare organizations to build and use custom applications quickly with minimal investment.

In fact, implementing low-code solutions results in 53% faster rollout of applications, as well as a 41% increase in efficiency of integration across platforms and 36% lower cost of ownership. This highlights the tangible impact that implementing a low-code platform can have on healthcare organizations.

Beyond their benefits in efficiency, low-code solutions can also have larger, organization-wide benefits. Because these platforms are user friendly and do not require extensive technical knowledge, they empower healthcare staff to take a more active role in building out and customizing the tools that they use every day. This reduces the reliance on IT for assistance with menial tasks, allowing for more intuitive and innovative solutions that fit the needs of healthcare workers and the organization as a whole.

Moreover, the time and resources saved from a confused and complex development process can be dedicated to other areas of improvement within the organization. By utilizing this accessible technology, low-code platforms can help healthcare organizations take charge of improving care delivery and enhancing overall efficiency.
