Consumers expect personalized experiences in nearly every aspect of their lives—but in healthcare, is personalization truly delivering value, or is it just another marketing buzzword? Chris Boyer and Reed Smith break down the balance between helpful personalization and overreach, exploring how health systems can use data-driven insights to enhance patient engagement without crossing privacy lines. They dive into: The Need for Personalization – How shifting patient expectations, rising out-of-pocket costs, and digital health trends are fueling demand for tailored healthcare experiences.
