Avasant Digital Forum: Building Healthcare’s Digital Future
In recent years, advocates of telemedicine promised increased access to healthcare, better patient outcomes, and reduced costs. COVID-19 became an unexpected large-scale trial for telehealth. Remote patient monitoring, chronic disease management, virtual appointments, and other aspects of digital medicine showed earlier success in those trials.

Avasant Digital Forum: Digital First Healthcare: Re-Imagining the Customer Value Chain
The Healthcare business teams need the correct data in-hand to serve customers faster and more efficiently. Today, they are dependent on vastly distributed and complex systems which do not provide real-time views with business context. Without business context it’s impossible to derive meaningful actionable insights in order to improve customer experience or fuel business growth. Rising cost complexities, interconnected systems and mounting regulatory pressures makes it imperative to know not just what went wrong, but why it went wrong in real-time.
