In 2015, we had some great authors contribute their healthcare perspectives on The Connected Clinician. These authors, ranging from PerfectServe executives to practicing nurses and physicians to other healthcare professionals, discussed the current state of the healthcare industry, expected industry changes in the years to come, and how organizations can collaborate to improve patient care.
