As we think about the 2nd wave hitting healthcare, Colin and I make some predictions on what technology and solutions are going to be needed by healthcare organizations to deal with these changes.

Here’s a quick preview of the areas we discuss in this episode:

Resource Optimization
Workforce Management (Temporary + Permanent)
Record Retrieval & Consolidation (One-Time Interop)
Other Needs
