In the International Hospitals & Healthcare Review, exploring remote patient monitoring technologies sheds light on the benefits of placing the healthcare journey into patients’ hands; we investigate how payers and providers have adapted their cost containment and case management operations in the challenging climate; and Eric de Roodenbeke, CEO of the International Hospital Federation (IHF), relays how digitisation has been critical to the healthcare industry’s Covid-19 response. The issue’s Destination Spotlight assesses the provision of healthcare for international patients in the State of Qatar and the Kingdom of Bahrain.
