Consider Walmart’s latest advertising campaign in which customers gleefully place orders online and through its app, selecting to receive smart-looking blue boxes on their doorsteps or seamlessly pick up their orders at the closest store.

To this end, they will need to move from pilot programs to large-scale efforts routinely offered across the care spectrum.
