“It’s no longer a marketing trope to be ‘patient-centric’—it’s a matter of survival,” writes Chase of one of the main challenges from the provider’s eye view. “In the past, behavior outside the clinic had little impact on healthcare providers. Going forward, it will be central to providers’ success (or failure).”
