As digital becomes more and more of a focus in hospitals and health systems, it is time to find new ways to connect digitally with recently discharged patients through grateful patient programs. These digital programs are designed to introduce patients to the organization’s mission, values, and community, with the ultimate goal of building long-term relationships that lead to future support.
