Though health systems talk about what they want their "digital front door" to look like, the reality is they usually have many; none of which provide the same experience. That's because often their individual hospitals, departments, service lines and physician practices -- especially those recently acquired -- have their own digital front doors, if they have one at all. For some, this may simply consist of a web site; for others, it may be a dedicated portal; while for a rare few, it can be a specialized mobile-native app with lots of functionality. The problem lies in the uneven patient experience this provides within a health system when someone who has interacted with a high-touch area later interacts with one at the other end of the spectrum. In this timely webinar, we'll hear from leaders who are working hard to reduce the disparate avenues of entry into their organizations so patients have a more consistent and compelling digital front door experience.

In an effort to better engage with patients, many health systems have gotten themselves into a pickle by going overboard. Today, with almost every department running its own patient engagement efforts, those at the end of all that attention are feeling overwhelmed. But there’s a better way, and it starts with governance, according to Guillaume de Zwirek, CEO, Artera.

It’s the foundation of any care access experience offered by a health system or hospital. Provider data powers a myriad of experiences that impact patients, providers, and staff members enterprise-wide. Unfortunately, the many back-end systems that house this data are often out of date and inconsistent, leading to a disjointed experience as people seek to access this information across an organization. Leading IT executives have found that investing in a provider data management strategy can help solve many of the data-oriented challenges they face today, enabling them to create a better experience for patients looking to schedule care and free-up time for employees tasked with keeping this often-changing information up to date. In this webinar we'll hear from leaders who are focused on improving this critical area of patient engagement and, with it, how they’re driving innovation and operational efficiency.
