In a time when hospital systems and physicians have experienced unprecedented challenges in delivering in-person care, these insights took on increased significance.

Executive Vice President, Vice Dean and CIO of NYU Langone Health used the word “frictionless” to describe the optimum patient experience which resonated with Wiener, “I really relate to that word as there should be no barriers or complications in accessing health data.
