Supporting changes in healthcare

Society
The increase in chronic diseases has led us to review how they are treated at the community level. By providing appropriate homecare, indirect costs, such as those related to absence from work, isolation and instability, should be better managed.
Patient
Personalized follow-up and the ability to contact Air Liquide’s teams by telephone (or text message) contribute to better treatment observance and to reassure the patient.
Family
Family members are often the primary caregivers of chronically-ill patients. Better understanding of treatment, easier interactions with healthcare professionals, and human and digital support all contribute to lightening the load for these caregivers.
Hospitals
Hospitals are faced with major challenges: accommodating an increasing number of patients, responding to the challenges facing medical staff, reducing costs without impacting the quality of care, taking advantage of digital opportunities, etc. Air Liquide has been supporting hospitals since its creation and provides effective solutions to these challenges, while ensuring an optimal hospital‑to‑home transition.
Healthcare coverage authorities
Public and private healthcare coverage authorities are shifting towards performance-based payments. The remuneration of healthcare providers is adapted to the patient’s level of adherence, in other words, to his or her level of commitment to the treatment prescribed. This approach leverages the quality of services provided to patients and savings for the healthcare system as a whole.
Healthcare professionals
Air Liquide encourages the efficient coordination of healthcare professionals by allowing patient information to be collected remotely and shared continually using connected devices. The result: fewer unnecessary appointments and more time for high value-added medical procedures and discussions with the patient.
