The healthcare industry is in a period of rapid change. Between the staffing crisis, rampant burnout and large non-medical corporations like Amazon and Walmart making bold entrances, forward-thinking, agile organizations must become technological trailblazers to come out stronger on the other side. In the next few years, health systems will either become disruptors, or they will be disrupted. Healthcare has always been conservative in adopting modern technologies, but digital tools are here to stay in the age of Big Data. Organizations that position themselves to embrace advancements will be the ones that can weather the massive changes coming for the industry.
