From pilot to deployment: Avoiding the pitfalls
In healthcare, tech tools can only be as good as the people that use them. If healthcare organizations don’t master the change management process when deploying new tools, they could be putting the success of their pilots in serious jeopardy. Hear leaders share strategies that health systems can use to gain buy-in from their clinician stakeholders, seamlessly integrate new tools into clinical workflows, and track staff interaction with newly introduced products.
