- Top healthcare pain points among provider organizations include poor interoperability and long-term solutions to staffing shortages and clinician burnout, according to a KLAS whitepaper.

In September 2022, KLAS hosted its sixth annual Digital Health Investment Symposium (DHIS), bringing together provider organization executives, health IT vendors, investors, and innovators to discuss health IT developments.

To gather insights before the symposium, KLAS asked attendees to complete a pre-summit survey identifying top pain points in healthcare and how confident they feel addressing those challenges.
