Today’s buzz: Your health.
When choosing a physician, hospital, insurance plan, or treatment, you must be a smart consumer today. This means having the right information whenever, wherever, however you need it, so you can make informed decisions that yield the best possible outcome. Can mobility help?
The experts speak.
Devin Virta, SAP: “You’ve got to start with the customer experience and move back toward the technology – not the other way around.” (Steven Jobs, Apple)
David Delaney, MD, SAP: “The only real chance we have to bend the healthcare cost curve is to shift our efforts from trying to make pounds of cure cheaper to applying ounces of prevention, and engaging the patient as an active and invested agent in the improvement of their health.”
Dan Mahowald, SAP: “We believe, in healthcare, that the (medical) record will start living with the consumer...where I can take it anywhere I go in the world and always have access to it.”
