Anthony Lange , Senior Vice President & Head of Healthcare and Life Sciences , Virtusa , speaks about advancements in healthcare in light of a post-pandemic world
Over the years , global companies have chosen the path of digital transformation as the logical step forward in keeping up with emerging technologies . As such , these organisations look at partnering with digital service providers such as Virtusa to transform their product and processes . Virtusa is a global provider of digital strategy , IT services and engineering solutions to a variety of sectors .
Anthony Lange , Senior Vice President & Head of Healthcare and Life Sciences , shares his insights on what digital transformation means for healthcare , the steps taken by Virtusa in enabling healthcare providers to meet the increasing digital demands and how Virtusa ’ s post-pandemic risk strategy is helping these service providers stay ahead of the game .
“ With COVID-19 , the whole US $ 3tn healthcare industry is being disrupted and dispersed , and everyone ' s trying to figure out the shift from hospital to home and from service to value ,” said Lange .
Global supply chains are now being pressured to work with resilience as opposed to the lean model they previously operated on . This puts the onus on companies like Virtusa , who ’ ve been tasked to transform some of the most crucial processes within organisations in a short amount of time .
Lange is no stranger to transformation . As someone who ’ s worked with Virtusa for more than a decade , he witnessed first-hand the shift of technology from a nice-to-have to a must-have capacity . A charismatic and team-oriented leader , Lange ’ s role at Virtusa changed drastically with the onset of COVID- 19 . Pre-pandemic , a large part of his role was based around travel , meeting clients and visiting site locations . This routine flipped on its head the moment lockdowns happened , but that didn ’ t stop Lange from working harder than ever and thinking of ways Virtusa could support their clients and partners through these unprecedented times .
“ I don ' t think I ’ ve ever worked so hard in my life , and a lot of it was about our employees ' safety and making sure they were in the right place , both physically and mentally . We spent a lot of time ensuring we ’ re doing things the right way as fast as we can and with the right logistics in place .”
