Webinar: Leveraging interoperability to improve patient care

Advancing interoperability is how we address healthcare’s most pressing challenges like doctors and nurses leaving their practices at alarming rates, clinicians experiencing record-high rates of burnout and aging patient populations with chronic conditions needing higher levels of clinical support.

In this webinar, we’ll explore how greater interoperability is enabling physicians and pharmacists to do more of what they do best: provide lower cost, comprehensive care for their patients, no matter where they live. 

Our presenters will share how pharmacists and physicians are leveraging interoperability to improve patient experience, quality of care, workflows and communication within care teams.

Join this webinar to: 

• Understand how healthcare professionals are accessing information that’s richer and more complete.  
•  Learn about the impact technology and data are having on clinical care teams. 
• Hear best practices to advancing interoperability among clinicians.
