It’s no secret that technology and health intersect for better care, without it the patient and doctor inevitably experience unanticipated consequences like a missed test result.
It’s imperative that healthcare practices make fundamental improvements of the patient experience through technology, particularly if the practice plans to accommodate Millennials which are not only the largest age group in American History but also at the height of their spending years.
Patients expect to get the information they need to select a provider at their fingertips, and private healthcare practices must adapt or eventually be forced out of business.
