The Digital Outlook: Examining Tech Advancements
Providers, especially in primary care, face mounting competition from the proliferation of virtual care options now available, according to a recent news story about key takeaways from Sanford Health’s recent Summit on the Future of Rural Health Care.
In the September/October Healthcare Executive cover story, “The Digital Outlook: Examining Tech Advancements,” we showcase three organizations leading the way in digital innovation that have introduced resources offering convenience, enhanced quality and improved patient experiences. Two of these organizations—a cancer center and a hospital—are structured in ways that place their respective digital health and innovation centers at the forefront of their digital strategy. Meanwhile, a third organization is offering a full suite of digital therapeutic services designed to help patients better manage their conditions at home.

New Book Broaches the Patient’s Primary Care Experience
Putting patients at the center of the healthcare practice is no longer an aspirational goal—it is rapidly becoming a requirement. Recently published by Health Administration Press, The Patient’s Primary Care Experience: A Road Map to Powerful Partnerships is a handbook for providing patient-centered care. Authors Mary-Ellen Piche, LFACHE, and Gina Luna focus on the Patient-Centered Medical Home model, which emphasizes building relationships and enhancing communication. They begin by making the business case for this model and then dive into implementation tips and strategies. Topics covered include partnering with patients in creating and achieving care goals, and preventing and mitigating staff burnout while promoting resilience.

How AI Can Transform Healthcare Management
As an increasing number of healthcare organizations employ artificial intelligence to gain clinical and operational efficiencies, AI is transforming how healthcare organizations operate. In a recent ACHE Blog post, three experts weigh in on how that sort of transformation in healthcare management can help AI reach its potential of making a positive impact on healthcare’s quintuple aim—enhancing the patient care experience, improving population health, improving the satisfaction and well-being of the healthcare team, advancing health equity and reducing healthcare costs—while improving overall productivity.
