Thrilled to share how PwC collaborated with a national nonprofit health system to transform patient engagement. By integrating Salesforce Health Cloud with AI, EHR and telephony systems, we achieved: -> An 85% reduction in call abandonment rates -> Over 3,000 hours saved monthly, allowing care teams to focus more on patients This initiative exemplifies the power of combining cutting-edge technology with a human-first approach. It's not just about digital transformation; it's about reimagining the patient journey to deliver better outcomes. Kudos to our dedicated teams and partners who made this possible. #HealthcareInnovation #DigitalTransformation #PwCProud https://lnkd.in/e-w7ccSe

Heading to Las Vegas next week for HIMSS26 — and the question I keep coming back to is: are we transforming healthcare, or just digitizing the status quo? There's a difference. Real transformation means rethinking how data, AI, and cloud infrastructure work together to actually change outcomes for patients, clinicians, and communities — not just move old workflows onto new platforms. As Oracle North America Health & Public Service Lead at Accenture, I'm seeing firsthand where the genuine breakthroughs are happening — in EHR modernization, in AI-enabled operations, and in building health systems that serve people across their entire care journey. If you're at HIMSS26, stop by Accenture Booth #4060. I'd love to compare notes on what's actually working. #HIMSS26 #HealthcareIT #OracleHealth #Accenture #DigitalHealth #HealthTransformation
