Healthcare Reform: Bridging the Gap Between IT and Marketing
When it comes to meeting meaningful use requirements, I.T. and marketing professionals bring different skill sets to the table. I.T. tends to focus on functional aspects: how to connect systems and protect data. Marketing tends to focus on the patient experience: how to ensure adoption and engage users. Both are essential to getting the most out of meaningful use, achieving compliance and improving care delivery.
Learn why it’s more important than ever for you to align your I.T. and marketing goals. In this webinar, we'll discuss the differences in how each team views healthcare reform and how to bridge the gap. We'll explain the importance of connecting systems and patients, and how a unified approach can really impact your efforts.
