October 14, 2022
This event will take place virtually, via Zoom.
Details provided upon registration

Description

Join patient experience experts in discussing ways to bring health equity in virtual care to the next level for patients. Experts will analyze interdisciplinary approaches to improve patient satisfaction. COVID exacerbated the preexisting inequities in care for vulnerable populations, and while virtual care restored access to care for many, in some cases it further deepened these disparities. This session will focus on the interaction between health equity, digital health and the patient experience, and how health systems can design for these challenges.

This program is recommended for virtual care providers, healthcare professionals and organizations seeking to fine tune, develop or launch their Virtual Care programs.

  3. Identify interdisciplinary approaches to create an optimal virtual patient experience, and describe the attributes of positive and negative virtual patient experiences.
