COVID-19 disrupted the world, and the healthcare industry was the most effected. The pandemic exposed our healthcare system's inefficiencies, inequities, and flaws, putting both clinicians and patients in the crosshairs.
Fremont, CA: Knowing the patient experience is crucial to our recovery from COVID-19 and the future performance of our health systems. In order to respond to this disease, health systems needed to be agile, innovative, and flexible. To improve the patient experience and healthcare in general, this ingenuity must continue. We may learn from and apply the strategies that have allowed our system to reduce wait times, set up pop-up testing and treatment centers, and show compassion when loved ones cannot be there.

Embracing digital revolution
Healthcare organizations can no longer afford to offer substandard digital experiences.
