As each year goes by, hospitals and healthcare systems recognize more and more the need for sufficient collaboration support and are starting to take action to make improvements to their systems. Collaboration is the most important fundamental to delivering quality care, and achieving collaboration are one of the greatest opportunities to improve the healthcare sector. According to The American Hospital Association, Seven in 10 hospitals and health systems will increase collaboration with other providers and payers on population health over the next five years. The global clinical communication and collaboration market will register a 17.3% compound annual growth between now and 2027 as it grows to more than $5 billion globally, projections by Reports and Data.
For effective collaboration between healthcare workers, hospitals and practices should invest in communication technology that keeps the team connected and makes patient information easily accessible. With digitization, providers can deliver highly personalized care.
