Listen "T@W Ep 28: Introducing Smart Starts: Helping Payers Start Strong and Better Serve Their Members"
Episode Synopsis
Digital tools such as Salesforce provide the transformational functionality that healthcare payers need to deliver next-level member experiences. But the cost and time expenditure of deploying those digital tools can pose a real roadblock for implementation, leading payers to rely on their existing legacy tools — often at the expense of their members’ experiences. To overcome this implementation hurdle,, payers need specialized solutions that can help them get to market as quickly as possible, so they can focus their efforts on better serving their members.
In this episode of Transformation @ Work, we take a look at Gerent’s latest offering, Salesforce Smart Starts, and examine how they can help payers streamline the implementation process and accelerate their time to value.
