What does 'digital transformation' mean for healthcare startups in 2019? - Technical.ly Philly

"One of the biggest problems with digital transformation," said Hassenplug, a former principal at KPMG and now a board member at ZH Healthcare, "is the word'transformation.' We've used it so much. It implies a radical change." Instead, he said to the gathered healthcare, life science, chemical and other execs, "you'd be wiser to avoid the term and talk about a'digital initiative' -- how it aligns with digital and business strategy and delivers results in the near-term." The summit, the second in the Philadelphia region over the past three months coordinated by a group of executives working in the industries discussed at the event -- including Hassenplug, Sandeep Katarnavre, David Demers, Tony D'Alessandro, Dawn Mahan, Meghan Beierschmidt and Christian Hoyvald -- was full of such practical advice for CIOs, CTOs and others hip-deep in innovation, digital and otherwise.
