The Healthcare industry has never been under more pressure to change than it is today. Payers, providers, pharmacy benefit managers and healthcare solution providers are being forced to comply with new regulations, integrate waves of competitive mergers and acquisitions, and adapt to the needs of an aging population. Many are struggling to keep up.
Successful healthcare organizations have been meeting these challenges by 1) driving targeted investments and constant cost control, 2) using advances in technology and digital operating models and 3) focusing on improved and innovative patient engagement. Recent events like the coronavirus pandemic and public demand for more effective outcomes are mandating the hyper-acceleration of these activities to better meet care lifecycle requirements and build patient-centric business models.
Digital transformation is the key to surviving this period of immense change. Whether you're starting out on your transformation journey, looking to refine existing strategies, or searching for what challenges to address next, this event will steer you in the right direction.
