The COVID-19 pandemic and consumer demand for more effective healthcare outcomes are putting pressure on healthcare payers to meet member care lifecycle requirements and build patient-centric business models. Payers and providers alike are struggling to comply with new regulations, integrate waves of competitive mergers and acquisitions, and adapt to the needs of an aging population. At the same time, many companies are struggling to stay apace with mounting competitive pressure and growing demand for services – especially advanced and convenient digital services.

Digital transformation helps address many of these challenges. Because payers and insurance plans measure technology investments based on business outcomes, finance and other business leaders are driving digital transformation.

The ISG TechXchange: Health Sciences event, June 22 & 23, 2021, is an immersive two-half-day virtual event that explores the evolving healthcare ecosystem. Discover new opportunities to learn about and embrace new digital cultures and innovations. Join some of the most respected thought leaders in Health Sciences to gain the knowledge required to execute a world-class strategy.
