What Digital Does - and Doesn’t - Unlock For Rural Health

Jared Antczak, Sanford Health’s Chief Digital Officer, discusses how digital tools are impacting rural health. When you’re the largest rural health system in the country and your service area covers 250,000 square miles, you can’t view digital as just another lane on the highway. Regardless of their geographic footprint, Sanford Health is still attempting to address the same challenge of meeting patient expectations while also alleviating workforce burden.  All that, plus the Flava of the Week about Walmart Health’s first partnership with a health system. Will the status quo prevail, or can other health systems see the value of taking the leap and exploring retail partnerships?  This show is produced by Shift Forward Health, the consumer advisory firm and community that's writing the playbook for consumer-first health.
