Digital health strategies can be implemented rapidly when using agile methodologies. Virtua Health successfully created a fully remote digital health practice in just 6 weeks, demonstrating that effective digital transformation doesn't require lengthy implementation timelines.

Remote patient monitoring can deliver significant clinical improvements including 32% reduction in hospital readmissions for COVID patients and 43% decrease in 14-day emergency department return visits. These programs also enhance patient convenience and loyalty while reducing healthcare costs.

A Net Promoter Score of 80, like Virtua Health achieved, is considered world-class in healthcare. This exceptional score indicates extremely high patient satisfaction and likelihood to recommend the healthcare organization to others.

Agile principles enable healthcare organizations to rapidly develop, test, and deploy digital health programs in iterative cycles. This approach allows for quick adaptation based on patient feedback and clinical outcomes, leading to faster implementation and better results.
