The HealthShare Symposium 2020 Special Event, hosted on Thursday, September 10th by Healthgrades, welcomed nearly 300 attendees virtually to hear from leaders in the hospital, media, and retail industries, who shared their insights and experiences since the onset of COVID-19 in the United States. Today, Healthgrades released a new HealthShare Symposium Special Event Executive Summary that highlights key themes from the event and shares advice and best practices designed to help healthcare organizations and executives set a path for success.
“COVID-19 has been a catalyst for change across the U.S. and today, we have a unique opportunity to come together and find innovative ways to navigate this new normal,” said Chris Catallo, President, Health Systems Platform and Services, Healthgrades. “From tremendous chaos emerges tremendous opportunity, and we are already seeing health systems emerge with new strategies to leverage technology, data and analytics to strengthen their patient and provider relationships, while achieving measurable success.”
To that end, Healthgrades introduced Hg Mercury, healthcare’s only enterprise-wide intelligent engagement platform for accelerating health system growth. With the Hg Mercury platform, health system leaders gain best next action insights that pinpoint market opportunities and guide hyper-targeted and personalized engagement.

Hg Fusion also provides health systems and hospitals additional analytical insights, strategic consulting, and healthcare-focused subject matter experts acting as an extension of a hospital’s team.
