Healthcare providers now prioritize patient preferences, values, and goals in treatment planning. Shared decision-making and patient engagement have become integral to healthcare industry.

This wouldn’t have been possible without the effective use of Information Technology in Healthcare. There is a lot we can do leveraging the power of technology to solve today’s healthcare problems including streamlining prior-authorizations, providing virtual care access to all patients, bringing transparency in coverage costs to everyone so that patients make informed decisions, identifying health patterns so that doctors/clinicians can provide preventive care and so on”.?
