Over the past two decades, healthcare technology companies have consistently promised to address the most pressing needs of clinicians and ease the burdens of managing a medical practice. However, these promises have often fallen short. The primary reason for this failure is that these companies have imposed their expertise on practices rather than respecting the knowledge and experience of physicians, clinicians, and practice administrators. The result has been inflexible, implementation-heavy solutions that lock practices into closed networks, benefiting the vendors rather than the practices. In this interactive session with athenahealth and the Coker Group, discover the key attributes of a technology partner that can truly support the unique needs of any practice and promote sustained clinical and financial success.
Learning Objectives:
Identify the key attributes of a technology partner that align with the unique needs of medical practices
