This year’s OMD Digital Health Conference (DHC) offered two full days of learning, innovation and connection. Experts shared strategies to help reduce clinician workload and provided a closer look at new digital health tools with the ability to transform patient care. Bringing together healthcare leaders, digital health technology innovators and clinicians made for a meaningful and productive experience.
