In order for health information systems to become more valuable to providers, they must evolve to transform and package data in a way that serves the clinician at the point of care, for the problem they’re trying to solve.

Kanter, MD, speaks to the pressing need to improve the provider experience in order to achieve the Quadruple Aim. While any number of changes can be made to help providers, a close look at healthcare technology will be required to really move the needle.
