The changing nature of healthcare calls for more effective, patient-centered methods of treatment. Combining many healthcare services, technologies, and real-time data analytics, integrated healthcare platforms (IHPs) seem like a great approach to improve patient care. This research investigates whether or not IHPs could enhance patient outcomes and the way healthcare is given. Among the strategies used were a thorough review of present IHP models, conversations with healthcare professionals, and an examination of patient satisfaction surveys. Examining important success criteria like care management, access to healthcare services, and patient engagement helped them to ascertain the performance of the systems. Results reveal that IHPs greatly simplify patient coordination of care, reduce patient wait times, and increase general patient contentment. Telemedicine, data exchange, and tailored treatment regimens all help to streamline healthcare administration. Still major issues, however, include merging technology, data security concerns, and the great expense of the original program. IHPs have great potential to change the way healthcare is provided notwithstanding these challenges. Finally, by motivating healthcare professionals to collaborate, reducing unnecessary activities, and orienting treatment towards the patient, IHPs show great potential for improving the quality of patient care. To fully use their potential, technologies need more study and investments in their systems.
