National Nurses Week 2019: Nurses leading change in digital health solutions
At four million strong in the United States, nurses care and advocate for patients and families from the bedside to the boardroom. When we talk about using our Microsoft technology and solutions to improve care and assist clinicians, it’s those four million nurses we want to empower.
