Learning Objectives:

At the end of the presentation, participants should be able to:

1. Summarize the reasons why healthcare has gone digital only over the past couple of years,
2. Cite the two key steps by which the “productivity paradox” – the surprising lack of improvements in the first years after an industry goes digital – is resolved, and
3. Describe at least one use of technology that illustrates “reimagining the work.”
