As the number of Americans with chronic health issues continues to skyrocket,1 both the quantity of diagnoses and cost of care related to complex needs are growing at an untenable rate.

The good news is that today, even in the middle of this bumpy journey, technology can enable solutions. In this e-book, we break down how coordination and data-sharing capabilities can result in a personalized, efficient and ultimately more successful health journey.
