The trust gap: Salesforce finds only 23% of consumers completely trust the Health Industry

To better understand the role of trust within healthcare, and what trusted health organizations are doing differently, Salesforce surveyed over 12,000 consumers in 13 countries and developed the latest edition of its Connected Health Consumer Report.

Salesforce’s new Connected Health Consumer report finds that the more consumers trust a given health organization, the more willing they are to share non-medical information.
