Less than 10% of patients say that providers’ mobile apps meet their needs. At the same time, over 60% say digital services play an important role when choosing a provider and the majority of the patients who switched providers last year said it was to have a better experience navigating their healthcare.

Join this session to learn why a mobile experience that can be customized for different user types could be the solution to creating a more personalized, engaging experience in healthcare.

2:30 PM - 3:15 PM (CDT) | Rhiannon Harms, Chief Data & Analytics Officer, UnityPoint Health (FKA Iowa Health System) Toan Nguyen, MD, Director, Breast Oncology and Surgeon, Lakeland Regional Health Paul Butler, CIO, Regional West Health Services | Better patient experience leads to better patient outcomes, but today’s patient experience is fractured—from difficulty scheduling (and keeping) appointments to providing the same information repeatedly to getting lost in the transfer between departments. Providers and payers expend costly time and resources responding to queries from multiple directions and guiding patients through disparate systems and processes, resulting in frustration and lost productivity. When patient engagement is difficult or frustrating patients become less engaged and are more likely to delay care and have unmet medical needs. One answer to improving the end-to-end patient experience lies in simplifying the tech stack and streamlining patient interaction data. Hear how connecting patient interactions improves personalization and reduces friction, contributing to better patient outcomes while benefiting employees, clinicians, and the bottom line.
