By leveraging the tools of an integrated, clinical communication platform, Jefferson Health drastically reduced emergency department (ED) overutilization, hospital readmissions, and wasted care.
HIMSS21 validated what many providers already knew: digital transformation is essential for continued success and growth in healthcare. Although HIMSS-sponsored research reveals that half of healthcare organizations are behind the digital curve, there’s still time to catch up and build forward momentum.
