How Technology and Healthcare Should Gracefully Collide to Provide the Best Patient Experience – #HITsm Chat Topic

We’re excited to share the topic and questions for this week’s #HITsm chat happening Friday, 6/8 at Noon ET (9 AM PT). This week’s chat will be hosted by Jeanne Bliss (@jeannebliss) and Michelle Chaffee (@mdchaffee) on the topic of “How Technology and Healthcare Should Gracefully Collide to Provide the Best Patient Experience.”

Enhancing patient engagement and improving patient experience are priorities for many hospitals and health systems. And customer experience in healthcare must be a balance of human care and technical care – only when it enhances and improved human care. In this chat we’ll discuss the critical balance of the two and how high tech must enable and support high human touch, as well as best practices and the companies who are enabling technology support for human care delivery.
