With the adoption of mobility in healthcare, hospitals have slowly deviated towards value-based care, which is a complete overhaul from the previous pay-for-service model.

While the vast amount of data can be daunting, it’s also incredibly valuable for healthcare facilities when it comes to improving care and cutting costs.
