Developing a Patient Engagement Strategy that Avoids Vendor Sprawl

For a whole host of reasons — security, cost and interoperability to name a few — heath systems are looking to shrink the number of vendor/partners they work with. To that end, hospitals have launched application rationalization efforts seeking to retire one-offs or little used apps, along with raising the bar to bring in new ones. One area where this effort has run into challenges is around patient engagement, where point solution vendors seek to address the many tasks that fall under its large umbrella; such as access, communication, and readiness. In this timely webinar, we’ll speak to leaders who have thought through their patient engagement journey so — as they move from here to there — they don’t pick up an excessive number of isolated vendor/partners along the way.
