Summary: Digital transformation is revolutionizing the healthcare landscape, shaping experiences for patients and providers alike. In this episode of For the Better, Ben Cash sits down with Aaron Mauck, a former Harvard faculty member and current executive partner at Endeavor Management, to discuss the impact of digital transformation in the healthcare industry.

Consumers benefit from more convenient care interactions like scheduling appointments or telehealth, access to records, and communication with providers
