According to the latest research conducted by Accenture, a lack of consumer facing technology can negatively affect a hospital's revenue cycle. While hospitals can safeguard their cycle by focusing efforts to revise digital health strategies and patient engagement efforts.

There has been an obvious and significant increase in consumer desire to proactively take charge of their healthcare, and through the use of mobile applications patients can take control and effortlessly engage with their provider.
