How LifeBridge Health Bridges the Gaps of Digital Literacy

Featuring Tressa Springmann,
SVP, Chief Information & Digital Officer, LifeBridge Health

Topics:

Tressa Springmann, Senior Vice President and Chief Information and Digital Officer at LifeBridge Health, lets us in on her daily mission to meet patients where they are, while taking into consideration their varying levels of digital literacy. After all, she’s at the forefront of providing access to care across all generations, and some folks are still used to the “old way of doing things”.

Tressa holds a strong belief that the patient should be viewed as a digitally enabled participant, a notion that digital healthcare executives should consider when designing the patient journey. She discusses the importance of balancing digitization, humanization, and personalization.

We top the episode off with emerging technologies in healthcare and the ones she predicts to see on the horizon, and shares her best practices for leadership in the workspace (and life in general).
