Unexpected events make the healthcare profession one of the most challenging industries to navigate and plan for. Sudden, abrupt patient situations tend to occur, increasing the workload of healthcare providers. Similar, process efficiencies and productivity are a reflection of the care team’s ability to communicate.

Oftentimes, they are expected to be involved in making data-driven decisions for augmenting productivity and profitability.
