Digital communications and an omni-channel approach are the necessary components in providing a patient-centric financial experience, and most providers already understand the need to have a digital communication strategy in place.

A CFO from a community hospital in the Southwest reported that it takes their EHR vendor six months to a year to make the necessary system adjustments for a new vendor
A person working in revenue cycle at an academic medical center in the South said that internal IT resources are often not available for new technology projects, even if a vendor could be ready in 90 days
