Executive Dialogue

Using digital transformation to develop consumer-focused models of care

With the shift to digital transformation, hospitals and health systems have an opportunity to create a frictionless digital consumer-like experience in accessing health care and enable a range of use cases for care coordination and consumer engagement. The digital health ecosystem supports consumer-centered models of care, access to new services, on-demand interactions with caregivers and personalized treatment paths. Rapid technological developments allow multidisciplinary and collaborative health services to work together to provide patient care. This executive dialogue examines 8 strategic initiatives health care executives are undertaking to transform how they are using technology to improve the patient and provider experience.

8 Digital Strategies Health Leaders Are Using to Become Consumer-focused

  • Reduce the security and operational risk in your digital ecosystem with standardization and streamline the number of applications used to deliver patient care.
  • Leverage a global operating model for agility and scale to deliver services 24/7 while reducing employee burnout and improving retention.
  • Accelerate innovation by empowering clinicians with data and predictive analytics to provide higher-quality care and better patient outcomes.
  • Build consumer-focused models of care for better access and less friction throughout the patient journey. Prioritize end-to-end journeys that deliver the most value.
  • Focus on convenience for patients and employees by replacing complex, people-intensive processes with self-service systems that patients can use.
  • Develop capital requirements for a technology-enabled health care system to provide exceptional care without exception to every patient every time.
  • Use technology to empower the community to improve health equity and access to care.
  • Partner with other health systems, community and statewide organizations, universities, Medicare, Medicaid and the AHA on technologies developed to drive clinical outcomes.
