NGPX Webinar: Empowering Patients Through Shared Decision Making
Date: Wednesday, November 07, 2018
Time: 01:00 PM Eastern Standard Time
Duration: 1 hour
With increased focus on patient-centered care, shared decision-making has emerged as an essential element along a person’s journey to health and wellness. Successful healthcare provider-patient collaboration demands that decisions are not only clinically appropriate but aligned with a patient’s values and preferences for care. This requires that patients receive healthcare information that is easy to understand, actionable and fosters the confidence to make healthcare decisions.
Our panel of patient experience experts will share:
- How to leverage shared decision making to help patients be more involved in their care
- Methods of implementation—where to begin on your journey towards an empowered, informed patient
- How to address health literacy and its impact on patient understanding and decision-making
Dr. Sepucha spoke about empowering patients through shared decision making.
