New Leadership to Accelerate Healthcare's Digital Transformation

 
Many healthcare organizations are striving to become more customer-centric and digitally enabled, but new pressures are creating an urgency to accelerate transformation. Consumers and providers successfully adopted telemedicine and other technologies during the pandemic; however, the opportunities ahead go beyond these, suggesting an enterprise-wide convergence of technology with all health system functions. Drawing on the expertise and experience of three Florida health systems who are in the midst of this transformation, this session will highlight the importance of leaders (1) recognizing the convergence of technology and operations; (2) putting a digital focus at the center of every part of their health system; (3) focusing on disciplined, data-driven executive teaming; and (4) building a culture that emphasizes learning.
