The health care industry lags other sectors of the economy in its use of technology to spur innovation, but leading health care organizations are starting to catch up. Two new Commonwealth Fund reports explore the promise of technology-enabled care delivery and describe a path forward for developing game-changing digital health tools:
- A Vision for Using Digital Health Technologies to Empower Consumers and Transform the U.S. Health Care System provides practical examples of digital health tools being used to improve care and empower patients with complex and costly medical conditions.
- Taking Digital Health to the Next Level makes recommendations for clinicians, developers, and entrepreneurs to develop digital health tools targeting health care's greatest needs, with implications for how payers and policymakers might support this movement.
