Reimagining Healthcare in a Digital World - Why technology innovation may be the saving grace for our industry

As for healthcare, it has been a slow journey into the digital world. While medicine has seen incredible advances in diagnostics, treatments, and therapies, the practice of medicine needs an overhaul. It has taken over ten years to implement electronic medical records even with substantial government incentives. I'm often reminded of the work still to be done every time I see a clipboard or a fax machine in a doctor's office. Today we see healthcare costs continuing to rise, growing concerns about physician burnout, forecasted shortages of both nurses and physicians over the next decade, and rural hospitals closing at alarming rates.
