100 Most Influential People in Healthcare – 2018
Rank 2(tied)

Apple has partnered with a number of leading health systems in an effort to make the iPhone the conduit for health record interoperability. And as consumers continue to take on more financial risk, giving them that level of portability has the potential to further shake up the industry as they do more comparison shopping.
