The future for health systems is to become more digital, creating a seamless experience for patients and clinicians that elevates care and productivity while keeping the wellbeing of both at its core. The SI Analytics and Digital Health Summit, sponsored by Chartis and hosted by Baptist Health, met last week in Miami and uncovered ten key insights to guide this journey including: ? Digital health platforms must be simple, intuitive and function to support both patients and caregivers. ? People want to interact with healthcare differently, and they should be respected as both patients and consumers. ? Generational preferences should be taken into consideration on the digital transformation journey. Check out our Summit Snapshot to read all ten! #digitalhealth #analytics #transformation #ai https://lnkd.in/g8bCTywA

Lessons Learned from CrowdStrike Outage: ? In the wake of the CrowdStrike outage, the Scottsdale Institute convened Dialogues for CIOs and CISOs to share lessons learned. We are grateful to these dedicated professionals and their teams for their hard work to ensure minimal disruption to patient care.?A few key takeaways include the following tips: ? o??Create a true prioritization system that creates focus work on that which is most critical. o??Manage end user expectations and ensure solutions are tested before deployed to avoid frustrations. o??Question singular reliance on a third party for critical systems and consider retainers with secondary partners. ? Members of the Scottsdale Institute have access to Dialogues, Summits, peer group discussion boards and more to quickly access expertise and support from executive leaders at leading non-profit health systems.

Thank you to Kali Arduini Ihde and her team Northwestern Medicine for hosting SI’s Innovation Summit, and to our friends Deloitte who sponsored this event. A few key takeaways are below: - Innovation teams are small, but mighty! They leverage their expertise in assessment, process improvement and analysis to develop deep partnerships with innovative companies that are fundamentally transforming how their hospital systems work. - Communication is not only a means to share successes, but to drive recruitment and retention of top clinical talent. Setting a media strategy that demonstrates results from innovative work inspires more innovation and engagement throughout the system. - Health-system based centers of innovation are uniquely capable of generating high impact investment opportunities given their access to top clinical expertise and talent. Nowhere else can investors or philanthropists fund opportunities to transform healthcare driven by leading hospital systems with the capability to implement and iterate pilot projects designed to deliver ROI. ? A special thanks to all of our Members who braved the travel challenges to be with us in Chicago! The insights and discussions during the Site Visit and Summit were ??
