October 7, 2020: How can healthcare leaders make recent gains in digital health long lasting? Dr. Kaveh Safavi and Brian Kalis with Accenture join us to share research they did pre and post COVID, right through the lens of the consumer. What do their findings show? Will digital stick around? We know the pandemic forced a surge of adoption of technology for both clinicians and consumers out of necessity, but what obstructions still remain? Do we have it figured out enough to integrate it as part of future care models? What about the financials? Workflow issues? The digital divide? Are there solutions out there? And who do they think is going to lead the way in terms of digital disruption of healthcare?
