Operating in the new normal
Living with COVID-19, or the risk of its return is the new normal for health and social care. This means continuing to operate with massive amounts of uncertainty: who has it; how best to treat; who is at highest risk; will there be a second wave; what will government policy be; how will staffing be affected; will there be a vaccine; etc.
In order to shed light on some of these questions, we've interviewed speakers from Omnia Health Live to get a global perspective. From pages 10 to 25, speakers at the virtual event provide an insight into their sessions. For instance, Tom Lawry, National Director for AI in Health & Life Sciences, Microsoft, discusses the impact of AI and how much of its evolution in healthcare will happen in the Middle East (pg 10).
Moreover, Dr. Eric Eskioglu, executive vice president and chief medical officer, Novant Health, talks about the need for rapid transformation and how precision medicine will accelerate 3D printing (pg 20).
This issue also puts the spotlight on the importance of the laboratory in the care of patients and its extremely important role in diagnosing and treatment of COVID-19 patients (pg19).
