How digital defines health: removing friction for improved patient experience

Digital innovation has played a critical role in building resilience in the global healthcare industry. Hospitals and pharmaceutical companies alike have turned to technology to enable virtual patient engagements and allow a globally dispersed workforce to do their jobs remotely now more than ever. But there is more work to be done, especially as already stretched health systems now need a long-overdue digital tech injection.

Whether organisations are working on groundbreaking scientific discoveries to develop life-saving vaccines and therapies, increasing agility in medical supply chains, or protecting workers and patients, they need to accelerate and scale the adoption of digital technologies. These include telehealth, remote patient monitoring, and the use of digital channels to measure, assess, and monitor health status.

  • How are digital experience expectations of both employees and patients changing in respect to the services they provide or receive? Are health systems delivering on the promise?
  • What must companies do to support the easy integration and sharing of information, providing access to accurate health data, and simplifying processes?
  • How can healthcare leaders overcome the challenges of securing critical systems and PHI data while enabling employee productivity?
