Deploying a Connected Health initiative need not be a major undertaking for healthcare providers. For beginners, the first step is to integrate the siloed clinical data that exists throughout the enterprise. Small use cases that provide immediate return on investment, such as improving access to specialized care in the emergency room, should be the next step. For healthcare organizations that are further down the road of Connected Health, implementing a population health initiative, such as targeting a population with chronic disease, makes good use of connectivity and care across the continuum. Partnering with a technology partner can help both beginners and veterans for the overall goal of delivering Connected Health.
