The healthcare industry continues to focus on ways to reduce cost and 
improve the quality of care for the individuals and communities they serve. Patient engagement is critical to the high-quality/low-cost initiative and healthcare organizations are turning to the retail industry for strategies used to engage and empower consumers. The key to patient engagement is leveraging consumer data. Data is the chief enabler and healthcare has access to mountains of data – they just need to figure out what to do with it.
Perficient recently pulled together thought leaders from their national healthcare and consumer markets practice to bring to light some of the retail strategies that healthcare organizations can use to engage with their consumers.
In the webinar, Jim Hertzfeld, Director of Perficient’s Consumer Markets practice provides an overview of the retail industry, including the 5 forces that are defining the retail industry today. Melody Smith Jones, Perficient’s Manager of Connected Health takes a look at the retail strategies and how the healthcare industry is leveraging retail tactics to engage with consumers.
