A recent study revealed that companies with diverse management teams produce19% more revenue due to innovation.

What does it truly mean for a company to foster a sense of belonging among its employees?

Welcome to “The Healthcare Rethink podcast,” presented by FinThrive.

• Real-world examples of how companies are integrating these principles into their core business strategies

Rosanna Durruthy is not just an expert in her field; she’s a visionary. Her journey began at Harvard University at 16, and since then, she has been a beacon of change in the corporate world.

Providing patients with secure channels to communicate with their care team encourages active participation and enables better health outcomes. He acknowledges that patient portals have limitations but emphasizes that patients appreciate having a safe space to connect with their healthcare providers.

Driven by this understanding, he continues to advocate for improved access to information through modern APIs and user-friendly applications. Dr. Lane's journey exemplifies the transformative power of interoperability and patient engagement in healthcare delivery. By embracing new technologies and innovative solutions like those offered by Health Gorilla, the industry can create a future where healthcare is truly patient-centered.
