For the past two decades, healthcare organizations have heavily invested in EHR systems – rightfully so. However, the times have changed. The real opportunity lies in developing patient loyalty through innovative membership models that provide both operational efficiency and long-term growth.



The future of CFO leadership: Embracing patient loyalty as a financial strategy

The future of healthcare hinges on the powerful synergy between advanced technology and human expertise. The integration of AI is not just a trend but a pressing necessity. Patients are no longer willing to endure long wait times and often switch providers if their expectations for timely service are unmet. Additionally, the heavy workload and stress experienced by healthcare professionals in an overwhelmed system highlight the urgency of adopting AI solutions.

AI’s transformative impact on the healthcare sector addresses the critical need for improved patient care and operational efficiency. By strategically integrating augmented intelligence at various touchpoints, health systems can streamline the care journey and offer a comprehensive digital front-door experience, resulting in increased patient satisfaction and higher-quality professional time. 

Unlocking hospitals productivity with AI: A comprehensive approach

In today’s digital age, a robust digital front door is not a luxury but a necessity for health systems aiming to meet patient expectations, improve operational efficiency, and stay competitive. By adopting a comprehensive DFD strategy, health systems not only enhance the patient experience but also achieve significant operational and financial benefits. As the healthcare industry continues to evolve, the digital front door will play an increasingly central role in shaping the future of patient care and fostering patient loyalty.

The competitive edge: Why every health system needs a robust digital front door

The Digital Front Door (DFD) methodology has emerged as a pivotal element in enhancing patient engagement, streamlining operations, and ensuring a competitive advantage. 

In a 2022 KLAS Top of Mind Research Report, 55% of healthcare leaders stated that their organization uses some form of DFD technology. The organizations that didn’t yet have one said it was on their radar for later implementation.

Digital front door: The key to staying ahead in healthcare

As health systems seek out new ways to improve patient engagement, deliver a more consumer-centric experience, and expand capacity, having a clear digital front door strategy has become an increasingly essential component of their efforts.

 Healthcare’s digital front door partners: Three essential attributes for virtual care partners

In today’s rapidly evolving healthcare landscape, optimizing revenue cycle management (RCM) in healthcare is paramount for providers aiming to maintain financial health while delivering exceptional patient care. However, traditional RCM solutions suffer from glaring inefficiencies that lead to frustrated patients and lost revenue. Enter the digital front door (DFD)—a holistic approach that enhances RCM by digitizing and centralizing various aspects of the patient journey. By streamlining everything from intake to bill pay, the DFD drives efficiency and addresses many of the shortcomings of traditional RCM along the way. 

Unlocking the true potential of healthcare RCM: How a digital front door makes all the difference

A consumer-grade digital patient experience solution must facilitate the holistic integration of all patient data, disparate technology solutions, and care services to deliver an experience that’s worth investing in — for both the patient and the health system at large. Otherwise, organizations risk introducing yet another fragmented solution into the market, one that fails to adequately address the diverse needs of patients.

Going beyond the digital front door to unlock precision healthcare through data and ecosystem unification

In today’s rapidly evolving healthcare landscape, health system CIOs, Innovation, Strategy, and Marketing executives are faced with a daunting task: selecting the optimal digital front door solution from a sea of options. This abundance of choices often leads to decision paralysis, costly DIY endeavors, or the adoption of solutions that fail to deliver value to consumers and yield no return on investment.

Navigating the maze: The challenge of choosing the right digital front door solution for health systems

According to a report from Accenture, patients are increasingly switching providers, and at least a portion say it’s because of the digital experience. In fact, the report goes on to show that digital engagement is a strong predictor of loyalty. Increasingly, patients say they are less likely to stay with a provider who doesn’t provide a good digital experience, and a bad digital experience effects how they feel about their entire healthcare interaction. In other words, great care or bedside manner doesn’t mean a patient will stay if the rest of their experience doesn’t meet their needs. 

The Right Approach to Your Digital Front Door Enhances Patient Satisfaction and Retention

Patients demand convenient healthcare access akin to online services. A robust digital front door, integrating online scheduling, telehealth, patient portals, symptom checkers, and payment management, is crucial. It offers a competitive edge by enhancing accessibility, patient loyalty, brand perception, market reach, revenue, and leveraging data for insights, ensuring health systems meet modern expectations and stay competitive.

Modern patients rightly demand that healthcare access be as straightforward as ordering a meal online or hailing a ride, which is still far from the norm.

AccendoWave’s Remote Monitoring Solution objectively measures pain and provides real-time pain data. Pain is one of the primary reasons patients access health care and a primary driver of cost, but since pain data can’t be extracted from electronic health records, health systems don’t have any data or insight about these costs. Additionally, pain has a bias problem: women and pain, ethnicity and pain, seniors and pain. Their number one complaint is often that their pain isn’t believed.  If health care systems are serious about their health equity pledges, they must address pain bias with technology to validate patient pain. Retraining the entire clinical workforce just isn’t an option.

Available digital healthcare solutions are evolving and improving rapidly, transforming how healthcare organizations meet patients’ needs. Few healthcare facilities have stood to benefit from the rise of telehealth technology as much as rural hospitals, which often serve as the primary source of outpatient services for underserved local communities.  But recently, rural hospitals have struggled to sustain the high levels of outpatient care they typically provide. Additionally, hospitals in rural areas rank last when it comes to telehealth adoption, which has left them poorly prepared to take part in the shift to virtual-first care and put their financial health at risk. According to a recent McKinsey report, that will soon change, as rural hospitals increasingly turn to remote patient monitoring solutions to provide better, more accessible primary care and improve coordination with regionally scarce specialists. To do so, they’ll need to choose the right platform for their use case.

Solution interoperability is the ability of different healthcare industry software systems, devices, and applications to communicate with each other, seamlessly exchange data and information, and work together in a coordinated fashion. It is the central nervous system that powers health system business objectives and strategy. 

Until relatively recently, interoperability was largely an IT function with a point-to-point approach. Policy changes like the 2014 HITEC Act and the 2016 21st Century Cures Act established broader data sharing standards and created the necessary regulatory framework to support effective and secure information sharing. In 2020, the Office of the National Coordinator for Health Information Technology (ONC) issued the Cures Act Final Rule, which clarified and enforced regulations related to information sharing among healthcare organizations and patients’ access to their electronic health data.

Top Conversational AI Companies Report | Fall 2024

Generative AI solutions offer incredible opportunities for the healthcare industry to improve care across multiple dimensions and provide accessible and engaging user experiences. It makes sense that healthcare entities want to implement these tools quickly to attain the promised benefits and avoid falling behind their competitors. But these technologies might still fall short of the hype, with significant shortcomings that may overshadow the advantages for many potential customers.

In AI we trust? Not without finding its clinical puzzle piece.

Consumers continue to expect more with each healthcare experience, and providers are grappling with how new market solutions can cater to non-loyal patients. Health systems operate in a progressively competitive environment as the supply of available healthcare services has grown. Meanwhile, consumers have adapted their lifestyles over the past three decades to a fast-paced, competitive, and accessible market. As a result, today’s healthcare consumers have a wide array of choices at their disposal, including a burgeoning array of telehealth options that can serve patients in any location. 

A new era for health systems: AI-based solutions for superior care

From providing quick, relevant, and legitimate responses to health questions to streamlining essential tasks, AI chatbots are revolutionizing how patients interact with healthcare providers and provide unique new opportunities for health systems to enhance operations with digital tools.

Patient Engagement 2.0: How Chatbots Are Revolutionizing Health Queries

Advances in conversational AI virtual assistants deliver tremendous value both to patients and their providers. Leading solutions can answer routine questions, support symptom triage, help patients schedule appointments, provide education, facilitate intake and procedure prep activities, and engage patients post-discharge and during follow-up, all while reducing administrative burdens for care teams and support staff.

Conversational AI Elevates the Impact and Value of Digital Tools

For healthcare providers, conversational AI could have a significant impact on operational efficiency. AI has historically excelled at handling high volume routine tasks that consume significant staff time and resources: appointment scheduling, prescription refills, department and provider routing, for example. Conversational AI will not only improve the performance of handling these tasks but will support healthcare providers in addressing the long tail of use cases that are individually less frequent but in aggregate consume time. By allowing healthcare professionals to focus on more complex and urgent tasks that demand their expertise and experience, adopting conversational AI can also improve job satisfaction as healthcare professionals can devote their time to more meaningful and engaging patient interactions.

The Transformative Potential of Conversational AI

With conversational AI involved, legal frameworks like HIPAA and GDPR still apply, but involve added complexity and dimensions. Within legal frameworks like HIPAA and GDPR, conversational AI raises new questions about patient privacy and compliance. For instance, can a chatbot be HIPAA-compliant? How do we ensure that the data processed through conversational interfaces receive the same level of security as traditional electronic health records? Legal authorities and legislative bodies are starting to tackle these issues, but healthcare providers must stay ahead of the curve to ethically utilize these tools and ensure legal compliance.

Human scribes have proven helpful in reducing physician administrative burden. According to the AMA, having a scribe in the room can reduce burnout by as much as 27%. But this is not as easy a solution to implement as one might think. Have you seen the average size of the examination room? Getting another person in there makes for a crowded elevator. Then, there’s the intimacy problem. Health conversations can be difficult with another person listening in and taking notes. Not to mention the challenge of getting enough trained people available whenever the physician needs them.

Alternatively, a well-trained AI model is exceptionally good at processing the conversation between a physician and patient, transcribing it, ordering the conversation into appropriate notes, performing the necessary documentation for claims, initiating referrals for lab tests, images, specialists, and so on.

Virtual Visits: Lessons on Growth from 25 Health Systems

We are LifeScience Technologies, a healthcare technology company and the developer of the m.Care® virtual care platform.  During COVID, we all saw the benefits of being able to treat patients remotely or virtually. Healthcare delivery has changed forever, and now the challenge is in providing an engaging and easy-to-use technology platform that meets the needs of populations and individuals.  Access to and communication with the patient’s care team is critical, and patient adherence to care plans is crucial to improving outcomes. For some patients, it is not financially feasible to supply expensive equipment like Bluetooth scales, connected blood pressure cuffs or wearable devices. Social determinants of health are another key consideration when delivering a solution to meet the needs of entire populations.  The m.Care platform is designed for ease of use and to encourage and support patient engagement. Our platform supports both synchronous and asynchronous communication–all HIPAA-compliant with data encrypted. Our objectives are to drive better patient outcomes and patient satisfaction through a robust and highly configurable virtual care platform that can accommodate as many patients as possible, with accessibility features that include voice commands in multiple languages for patients who are physically unable to use other means to report data.

Q&A with Steve Hendrix of m.Care: Improving outcomes with accessibility

Virtual visits are the ability for patients to access care remotely. It is being delivered in two ways:  Synchronously with a scheduled or on-demand real-time encounter  Asynchronously on-demand through email, text, or chat message
