But what happens after the go-live?Β 

Too many health tech companies lose momentum right when they should be deepening trust and adoption.

In this episode, I sit down with Sandra Johnson, SVP of Client Services at CliniComp, to talk about how their β€œsystem as a service” model keeps clinicians front and center, embeds users in every stage of product creation, and delivers interoperability that makes life easier for care teamsβ€”not harder.

πŸ”ΆThe role of interoperability in creating a 360Β° patient view

πŸ”ΆHow automation gives clinicians back their most valuable assetβ€”time
