How to Create a Digital Front Door in Healthcare

Given the various challenges healthcare providers and professionals face, what is the best path forward? It starts with establishing a patient-first approach. The industry has to take what it’s learned from an unprecedented 2020 and consider how to reach more patients in 2021 and beyond.

The push to implement more technology in healthcare processes has also created a push for a more local, results-based approach to healthcare. Decentralized healthcare systems work to improve efficiency and quality of care; they can also enhance communication between a referring provider and the partner organization, ensuring a smooth continuation of care when it’s needed.

A digital front door strategy ensures patients have access to healthcare — regardless of where they live. If 2020 taught healthcare organizations anything, it was that patients should feel empowered by their healthcare options. This year, they’ll continue to make autonomy, access, and empowerment the foundation of everything they do.
