Seminar Abstract: "Healthcare is late to digital transformation." The phrase is well-worn, but today's hospital and health system reality necessitates an enterprise-wide analytics strategy. What is that reality? In 2023, hospitals and health systems face an environment that is perhaps generously described as "daunting." According to Fitch, the sector just lived through "the worst operating year on record," while facing a once-in-a-generation workforce crisis and of course the aftershocks of a once-in-a-century pandemic. But just what are the pressures of this environment that make digital transformation table stakes, what's really happening on the ground today and what's in store for the future? Tune into this seminar to find out.
