Healthcare Is Not Quite Digitized w/ Bill DeStefanis

We've effectively digitized medical record via EHRs, but the healthcare industry still relies heavily on paper for many of its workflows and supporting documents. On this episode, we talk with Bill DeStefanis, Director of Product Strategy at Nuance about how and why paper is still widely used in healthcare, how we can keep it secure, and how we can effectively integrate it into our digital workflows.   About Bill DeStefanis:  As Nuance’s Director of Product Strategy, Bill brings more than 20 years of experience in the software industry to the position.
