Pathways
Premier agency and Sitecore Platinum Partner to serve as Gold Sponsor and showcase expertise at Sitecore
Symposium 2018
Perficient, Inc. (NASDAQ: PRFT) (“Perficient”), the leading digital transformation consulting firm serving Global 2000® and
other large enterprise customers throughout North America, today announced that its agency,
Perficient Digital, has received the 2018 Sitecore Experience Award for its best-in-class use of Sitecore as a Digital
Experience Platform. The
Sitecore Experience Award, announced in advance of the Sitecore Symposium 2018, recognizes Perficient Digital’s delivery of
customer-centric digital environments for its client
Dignity Health, one of the nation’s largest healthcare systems with 40 hospitals in Arizona, California, and Nevada. Together,
Perficient Digital and Dignity Health have partnered to engage each consumer and patient to streamline both patient and provider
experiences.
As consumers’ expectations for convenient digital access continue to rise, so has the importance of delivering personalized,
frictionless experiences. Today’s healthcare organizations are no exception to this demand and need to deliver positive experiences
across the entire patient care journey from initial engagement to treatment and long-term preventive care to help optimize clinical
outcomes.
“To carry out their mission to increase access to high-quality, affordable patient-centered care, Dignity Health is continuously
looking for the latest innovations to help transform the way it interacts with consumers and patients,” said Stephen Tynes,
principal of Perficient’s Customer Experience Platforms practice. “In leveraging the Sitecore Experience Platform, we’ve ensured
Dignity Health continues to have the right technologies and systems in place to deliver engaging, contextual, and personalized
experiences for all.”
Using Sitecore XP, Dignity Health and Perficient built a
“Find a Doctor” website that allows consumers to find providers and schedule appointments easily. In addition, by coupling
Sitecore with an identity management solution, the team launched the
My Home web experience, which allows patients to build their health team, map relevant locations, pay bills, schedule
appointments, request prescription refills, access clinical information, and securely message with their provider – all in one
place.
“Patient engagement is a top priority for Dignity Health and our consumer-centric My Home web experience increases patients’
access to quality healthcare on an ongoing basis. Through our partnership with Perficient, we’ve empowered our patients to take
ownership of their health journey, and increased the efficiency of the entire care journey for our physicians and our network,”
said Michael Seagraves, senior director, Digital Strategy and Operations, Dignity Health.
“We’re proud to be a trusted partner to Dignity Health and are thankful for this recognition from Sitecore,” continued Tynes.
“Dignity Health set out to create an experience that further enabled them to connect with their patients, where, when, and how they
prefer. In drawing upon our deep understanding of the healthcare industry and coupling that with our extensive technical
capabilities within the Sitecore and Microsoft technology stacks, we were able to deliver a solution that provides relevant
information and content when and where their patients prefer. Dignity Health continues to innovate in the overall delivery of care,
and, as a result, continues to improve patient outcomes.”
