Description

In what many have deemed healthcare’s “Amazon Moment”, the COVID-19 pandemic has led most organizations to pivot quickly. They have relied on technology to move the predominance of care from the hospital to the home, meet CDC and government standards, patient expectations, and resource and space constrictions.

Join Executives from top health IT companies for a live panel discussion to gain their perspectives on leading through the pandemic, ensuring a safe return to work, and their predictions for the future.  You will also hear about the latest “new normal” trends they are seeing within hospitals and health systems.

We’ve all heard about the “new normal”, but this is your chance to finally get real insight, real key strategies, and real recommendations to help better understand our new reality and our power to control its implications for the future of care delivery.

This discussion will highlight current struggles, advances, and opportunities on the topics of:

  • Zero-touch processes
  • Digital patient engagement strategies
  • Day-to-day operations
  • Anticipations of “future state” in the post COVID-19 world
