Advancing digital transformation is one of the biggest challenges seen yet by healthcare IT professionals. The pandemic accelerated changes in the way organizations approach care, moving away from traditional settings and into the home, putting a focus on new sources of data and new ways to connect caregivers and patients. In parallel, hundreds of established and startup software developers are intent on bringing thousands of applications to help healthcare providers, putting further pressure on IT professionals to implement tens or hundreds of new applications to support their operational and clinical colleagues. This discussion examines how a digital health platform helps enable transformation at scale.
