LANDMARK 3: DELIVER: ITERATIVE WORKFLOW

Delivery, using an iterative workflow, is the third and final step in the framework. Delivering on the strategy is a simple equation: Did you get what you asked for, and was it on time and within budget?

Did you receive fewer complaints or calls to customer service? Are more people using the system? Whatever the outcome, it should move the needle.

With digital navigators’ help, our scores toggled between 79 and low 80s, which is comparable to most retailers. To take healthcare to this level is pretty impressive.”
