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.

If you need a reasonable accommodation to participate in any of these programs, please contact Chelsey Byers, clbyers@illinois.edu. Early requests are strongly encouraged to allow sufficient time for meeting your access needs.

FAQs for Learn Calendar Users:

Will a recording be available?

That is entirely up to the host of this webinar/online event. If this is an Extension Foundation hosted event - we will update this calendar listing with a link to the recording usually within 48 hours. Keep in mind, many of the offerings found here in Connect Extension are brought to you by your colleagues across the system. While we encourage them to update their listings with recordings, it is entirely up to them.

How do I know if it is an Extension-hosted event?

Extension Foundation posts publicly our events to two calendars - the Extension Foundation Member Calendar and the Opportunities for Cooperative Extension Calendar.  All other events coming from across Cooperative Extension are posted to the Learn Calendar or to one of the regional calendars. All calendars populate to the same main calendar on Connect Extension. To tell the difference between what events are posted to what calendars easily, you'll see the name of the calendar posted above the title of the event if you scroll to the top.

What if I have trouble accessing this webinar?

Please contact the author of this calendar event. The individual that posted this event will have their username automatically listed at the bottom of the body of their post, right above the social media buttons. When you hover over that name, you are able to send them a private message.
