PwC’s Raymond Martin explores the day-to-day at the intersection of technology and healthcare.
“I lead technology-driven transformation for PwC’s health sector clients in Ireland, helping them improve patient care, expand access to services and run more efficient operations,” said Raymond Martin, a health technology director for the organisation.
He explained, more and more, healthcare teams are being asked to do more with the same resources, so targeted transformation using technology is often the single biggest lever for change.
If there is such a thing, what is a typical day in your job like?
There really isn’t one and that’s a positive. The pace of change across technology, health and business over the last five years has been astonishing and AI has put it into overdrive in the last two. My time tends to split three ways. First, overseeing live client delivery, technology rollouts in acute hospitals, community teams and national programmes, often involving significant redesign of care pathways to enhance collection and use of data and promote data and process standardisation. Second, working with our clinical and operational experts to shape new services based on what clients are asking for and the trends we’re seeing globally. Third, helping our PwC team evolve and working out what the market shift means for our people, their skills and their careers.
