    Talk The Talk, Walk The Walk - Evaluate and Implement Digital Health Solutions that Measurably Improve Patient Experience

    Changing perceptions around safety, patient care and virtual care have created a new landscape where patient-focused care is more tech-powered than ever before. Within the hospital, technologies that take a page from virtual care tools are providing more adaptive, engaging, and informative for inpatients and families. Flexible, adaptable digital tools that are user-friendly for patients and families and provide secure, convenient access to their data are key. Join us to learn how to manage health data at scale and make it easier for healthcare organizations to improve the patient experience, coordinate care, and drive operational efficiency, while helping support end-to-end security, compliance, and interoperability of health data.

    Improve the patient experience with data and digital health
