Healthcare’s New Digital Front Doors – Healthcare IT Today Podcast Episode 41

For the 41st episode of the Healthcare IT Podcast, we’re talking about the new digital front doors of healthcare.  We previously introduced the idea of the 2 new digital front doors of healthcare.  Needless to say, we think this is a really important topic to be discussing and ensuring we each understand as the healthcare digital world continues to evolve.

In this episode we dive into more details and perspectives on these two new digital front doors: Triaging Patients and Virtual Waiting Rooms / Check-in.  If you want to better understand the importance of each of these and what we think is going to happen with each, you’ll enjoy this episode and you’ll be better prepared to lead your organization through these changes.

Here’s a quick preview of the healthcare inequalities we discuss in this episode:

  • Connecting to Care / Triage
  • Virtual Waiting Rooms
  • Not Just for Healthcare Orgs

Today’s episode is sponsored by CareCognitics. If you’re trying to figure out the best way to handle digital check-in, CareCognitics can help. Their approach focuses on a great patient experience taken from their experience in the hospitality and casino industry. Plus, they made it easy to execute from a healthcare organization perspective. Along with this they can help with COVID-19 screening, Workforce Safety Assessments, and Chronic Care Management. Learn more at CareCognitics.com

Now, without further ado, we’re excited to share with you the next episode of the Healthcare IT Today podcast.
