Event information
It’s no secret that the pandemic accelerated investment in transformative healthcare technologies, such as telehealth. And before the pandemic, healthcare organizations were exploring or investing in retail-like digital experiences to improve patient engagement, satisfaction, retention, acquisition, and revenue.
As they continue to navigate the pandemic, however, providers are recognizing that investing tactically in transformative technologies won’t foster the holistic digital transformation they now need. The pandemic disrupted fee-for-service business models, encouraging a closer look at how payment models based on managing a population could be an effective, even better way of running their business.
Session Recording
The result: digital transformation is taking on a larger and more strategic scope in providers’ minds, with a growing focus on the role of data in the success or failure of clinical, financial, and engagement outcomes.
Join industry experts Paddy Padmanabhan, Founder and CEO of Damo Consulting and the author of best-selling “Healthcare Digital Transformation – How Consumerism, technology and Pandemic are Accelerating the Future,” and Craig Thomas, CEO of Sanitas USA, to learn more about how the pandemic has amplified the need to accelerate the transformation of provider organizations; the barriers that hamper providers from achieving success, and how to overcome them; and how getting the data model right can be the fulcrum to unleashing a transformation holistically across the enterprise.
You will learn:
- The industry often lumps digital transformation solely in the context of consumer engagement using a retail-like sales model – driven by the likes of Netflix, Amazon, and Uber. How can organizations navigate patient engagement within a far more complex sector like healthcare?
- How can digital technology enable digital transformation at the front- and back-end of healthcare operations? How can providers effectively navigate the transition to virtual models of value-based care?
- Interoperability across systems, care settings, and engagement settings is a significant gating factor in every provider organization. What’s the role of legacy systems, the EHR, SDoH data, etc., in the digital transformation process?
- What do we mean by centralized governance in a digital technology strategy? What’s the role of centralized governance, and how does it help ensure a provider maximizes the value of these technology investments?
- How can health systems develop digital transformation roadmaps to meet patient needs and realize overall organizational growth? What are the steps to take, and what are the pitfalls to avoid? What are the common mistakes we see providers making in the process?
