According to CHIME, escalating challenges posed by growing cybersecurity threats, evolving care models, staffing shortages and budget constraints have called for revolutionizing healthcare through technology, and it is moving forward at a rapid pace. Driven by emerging technology, it is expected that digital innovation—enabled by fully interoperable data, artificial intelligence and open, secure platforms—will drive much of this change. A strategic roadmap will be more critical than ever to navigate this myriad of change.
