Healthcare Tech: Challenges in User Adoption & Implementation – #HITsm Chat Topic

We’re excited to share the topic and questions for this week’s #HITsm chat happening Friday, 3/22 at Noon ET (9 AM PT). This week’s chat will be hosted by John Prince (@TheTechOfficer) on the topic of “Healthcare Tech: Challenges in User Adoption & Implementation”.

Healthcare tech is not as simple as creating an app. While new technology can make an organization more productive and efficient, it will fail if there is little or no adoption. Without active users, there is no return on your investment of time, money, and effort.

Trying to implement new healthcare technology comes with massive risk. Beyond developing fees and research time, organizations must factor in switching costs. If all stakeholders do not buy into the transition, the project will fail.

Please join us for this week’s #HITsm chat where we’ll dive into healthcare tech and the challenges of user adoption and implementation.
