The digital front door (DFD) business strategy places patients at the center of their available healthcare touchpoints with a single point of access for a secure, frictionless digital patient experience. For patient users, this means convenient secure access to their digital healthcare apps with a single set of credentials. For provider users, it’s increased connectivity, high visibility, and access to the tools and information that support timely decision-making.
The DFD strategy represents a critical step forward on the road to value-based care: a preventative approach to healthcare where doctors address patients’ overall health and well-being in order to prevent health problems before they occur. Value-based care is the future of healthcare and desired state for leading providers around the world.
Who needs a DFD strategy?
A DFD strategy unlocks a delightful user experience. With a DFD, patients’ digital identity is all they need to move seamlessly through their connected, context-aware healthcare journey. This same focus on digital identity protects organizations against security threats.
Today’s DFD capabilities are highly attractive. They include — but are not limited to — increased patient visibility and access, improved patient journey, seamless navigation, high engagement, patient loyalty, and retention. But healthcare leaders aren’t only interested in today’s benefits; where value-based is shaping up to define tomorrow’s healthcare industry, the DFD represents a necessary stepping-stone implementation for future-oriented healthcare providers.
