ConvergeHEALTH Connect is a suite of products and services designed to help public and private sector health care institutions deliver consistent, high-touch, personalized patient care.

"From tracking and sharing health data to accessing new channels of care, consumer engagement with healthcare is growing and understanding the critical touchpoints of a patient's journey will be key to improving patient outcomes," said Chris Zant, principal, Deloitte Consulting LLP, and life sciences and health care customer and marketing leader.

We built a common core framework for health care providers that enables them to identify and address patients' needs across the health care life cycle."

"As part of our global alliance with Salesforce, we're pairing Deloitte Digital's industry experience, business strategy and technology implementation know-how with Health Cloud to deliver innovative industry solutions for organizations," said Paul Clemmons, principal, Deloitte Consulting LLP, and global Salesforce alliance leader.
