Better Experiences, Better Security, Better Healthcare: How Leaders from CDOs to CISOs Can Exceed Digital Healthcare Requirements with Modern Identity
Industry Partner Spotlight

Healthcare is no longer confined to the doctor’s office, clinic, or hospital. Today, networks of health technologies power connected digital ecosystems that have transformed care. 

Healthcare consumers (patients/members) now expect convenient, personalized experiences across all touchpoints. Doctors and other providers are also demanding digital solutions to help them save time and provide better care. At the same time, security, compliance, and trust is also mission critical.

To enable digital healthcare and differentiate your business requires a modern identity platform that serves as a single point of truth to unite and secure your organization. 

Join Steve Gwizdala, Vice President of Healthcare at ForgeRock, as he discusses how a modern identity platform can help healthcare executives from CISOs to CDOs to:

  • Integrate hybrid IT environments and unlock legacy systems
  • Deliver digital experiences that improve care, grow revenue, and retain employees
  • Mitigate risks and fraud across the organization
  • Secure data and manage relationships between people and IoMT devices
  • Ensure regulatory compliance and safely enable data sharing and interoperability

Building the Best EMR Experience for Your Organization
 

EMR usability, as well as the efficiencies of a well-built EMR, are hugely important for many stakeholders across all healthcare delivery organizations. Join our panelists to discuss how they build a culture of partnership between physician and clinician users, IT personnel, and other stakeholders to drive a quality EMR experience, increase EMR engagement, and help users focus on opportunities for EMR success in their organizations. Discussion topics include:

  • How they continually adapt the EMR to meet the changing needs of the organization and users
  • How to develop a non-bureaucratic governance structure that allows for changes to be made quickly to the EMR
  • How they build a culture of sharing and continuing education to support mastery of the EMR by all users
  • How they improve EHR satisfaction and reduce EHR-associated burnout among clinicians
  • How they built or are building a quality EMR – cutting through the hype and choosing a vendor that works for their organization, based on best practices and feedback from the users
