Connect: LinkedIn Key Takeaways Healthcare organizations prioritize measurable improvements in patient care, safety, and efficiency, not flashy features. Vendors must clearly demonstrate the value and impact of their solutions. Successful technology implementation starts with trust and authentic engagement. Vendors who listen, build coalitions, and understand organizational goals outperform those focused only on transactions. Leaders must observe team dynamics, include diverse stakeholders, and foster collaboration to ensure smooth adoption and cultural alignment. Vendors who spend time understanding real workflows and pain points earn trust and design better solutions, an often-overlooked strategy for long-term success. Post-implementation, regular check-ins and governance meetings with vendor partners are essential to optimize workflows, track KPIs, and maintain momentum.
