This second article picks up where that discussion left off. Once healthcare organizations have aligned around strategy, they still have to answer a more operational set of questions. How do they personalize communications without crossing the line? How do they govern messaging across teams and systems? How do CRM insights fit into real workflows?

Those questions were at the center of the same Strategic Health Care Marketing webinar, CRM in Action: Building Smarter, More Integrated Programs.
