Discovering your path to value

Danielle Ross, Vice President and Virtual Chief Information Officer, Netsmart

The COVID-19 pandemic proved to be challenging for all healthcare organizations, especially for those who didn’t have some kind of crisis plan in place. In order to adapt and prevail through an unexpected event that could disrupt service lines, organizations need to strategize ahead of time and define their roadmap to success.

In this episode of Netsmart CareThreads, Danielle Ross, Virtual CIO and Vice President at Netsmart, talks about discovering your path to value.

Specifically, Danielle discusses:

The core foundational requirements needed to address a crisis
Management planning considerations when optimizing processes and tools
Best practice solutions to get on the right track

This discussion with Danielle Ross was taken from our show Netsmart CareThreads.
