Since the COVID-19 crisis hit us, digital technologies have had to play an important role in healthcare. Digital health solutions have helped manage patient volumes in hospitals, assisted with crisis and disease management, enabled patients to connect with their clinicians and loved ones, enabled patient data collection, and connected people as they work from home in self- quarantine or self-isolation, or practicing social distancing. These projects are being developed very rapidly, but our investments in digital technologies and skillsets, often part of a healthcare organization’s medical command system, to rise to the challenge.

In this session we will discuss what technologies will help us through the pandemic and beyond. Including:

• Expanding virtual work capabilities
• Enabling virtual communication within the hospital for patients in isolation
• Prepare for increased telehealth
