If you’ve sought medical care, tried to fill a prescription, or just read a hospital bill lately, you probably already know the hard truth: healthcare has become dehumanized. There are valid reasons for the shift; after all, providers have long struggled with interoperability, personnel workloads, and the ever-growing problem of confidentiality. But the end result is the same: a sub-par customer experience that strains the trust between patient and provider.
Thankfully, digitalization can help right the scales and empower providers to put the focus back where it matters: on the patient. In this episode of Transformation @ Work, we’re talking about humanizing healthcare – how digital tools can help providers put the focus back on their patients and deliver the kind of care that brings real peace of mind.
