Overview

November 8

State and local health agencies are at an important crossroads. They’ve been hit hard by the pandemic, with surging caseloads and skyrocketing requests for information and services. Meanwhile, they’ve put in place new innovations and new technologies to deliver health care services – but scaling and managing those processes can be a challenge.

Digital transformation efforts are impacting every facet of public health care. From chatbots and virtual agents, to data analytics, vaccination mandates and virtualizations, to electronic visit verification (EVV) solutions that ensure the right people receive the right care, state and local health agencies are leveraging technology in new ways every day.

For a comprehensive look at how digital transformation efforts are remaking public health, join us November 8. This information-packed 30-minute webinar will outline the digital tools and best practices that are already helping health agencies across the country deliver better, faster, more efficient, and more effective care.
