In an era when health systems pour billions into digital infrastructure, the question of “What is ROI in healthtech?” has never been more urgent. The members of Senior Executive Healthcare Think Tank, a curated group of experts in patient experience, workforce strategy, equity, quality and technology, draw on deep experience—from EHR transformations to consumer medical devices and mental health platforms—to redefine how ROI is measured and communicated in today’s healthcare landscape. Traditional ROI calculations centered on cost savings or headcount efficiencies are no longer sufficient. As digital investments stretch beyond basic IT systems into remote monitoring, AI and patient-centered care, value must also be defined in terms of clinical outcomes, adoption, user trust and longer-term impact. This shift matters: In a recent survey, fewer than 30% of health systems reported “significant ROI” from their virtual care initiatives. To navigate this evolving terrain, Think Tank members share their perspectives on the metrics that matter—and how leaders can align their measurement frameworks with both business goals and mission-driven purpose.
