Care Coordination Perspectives

There are many faces of care coordination: care teams, patient portals, secure communications and transitions of care. Who else needs to be invited to the table? How do we make the patient front and center? What needs to emerge in the world of health services and technology to help teams identify and maintain individual patient goals, optimal pathways toward those goals, and then manage the participants toward shared success?

Please join us for an engaging conversation about how technology and services can join forces to help solve this critical issue in healthcare. Food and beverages will be provided.
