The OPEN MINDS Engagement Technologies Summit
Monday, October 22, 2018 | 9:00am – 4:00pm
Can health and human service organizations have a great consumer experience that does not have a digital component? Increasingly, the answer to that question is “no.” Even for the most personal of experiences (dating, banking, shopping, etc.), Americans now expect convenient tech-enabled solutions for all of their activities.
As consumers’ adoption of digital technology in their health service continuum increases, the demand for, and sustainability of, traditional models of service delivery will decrease. Executives need a proactive plan to integrate these new digital technologies into their service system—to both increase consumer preference for their services and decrease service cost.
This summit will review the emerging trends in consumer treatment technologies, explore the new digital treatment options, and discuss how executives of provider organizations can incorporate new technologies into their strategy.
