Carilion Clinic President and CEO Nancy Agee just got back from speaking at the famed conference that’s only recently started to include health care. She discussed how providers can create digital front door strategies to meet consumer expectations and what Carilion is doing to make that happen. "We're introducing something called mytonomy, very new concept and really meeting patients where they are in an open portal so that they can get information whenever, wherever they want, agnostic to any device and share that with their family and friends," Agee said.
