Our First-Ever Health System Celebration Series (#371)

This bonus episode is part of the Greatest Hits collection — episodes from the past 6 years that are just as relevant today. It was episode #160 and originally aired in May 2021. 

On this one, Jill McCormick shared some provocative thinking about solving what she refers to as digital health’s “passionate problems.” When we use human-centered design and then tie that work to digital transformation, we start solving the problems that really need to be solved to move our businesses – and healthcare – forward.
