Aug 4 | Harnessing Technology to Improve Healthcare Communications with Patients
Electronic Health Record (EHR) systems are revolutionizing health care, potentially improving patient and provider collaboration and patient self-care. A barrier to realizing this potential is that information in EHRs can be too technical and not patient-specific. Patients may misunderstand this information, especially numeric information presented without an explanation. Moreover, providers rarely have enough time to consistently use patient-centered communication when talking to their patients. The webinar will discuss how patients can more effectively use health information to communicate to their health care provider and how technology can provide support for busy providers. Presenter: Renato Azevedo, Educational Psychology.
This session is FREE, but registration is required. A recording of this webinar will be available at a later date, please register to receive a link to the recording.
