How can clinicians leverage technology to improve quality of care & increase patient engagement?
Often times, it can be overwhelming to consider all of the information, resources, and tools available to us as clinicians. It can be difficult figure out where to begin, which tools to use, or even how to implement the new techniques or technologies we’ve adopted at our facilities while continuing to delivery real, human experiences in our facilities. As I always like to say, sometimes the soft skills are the hard skills. Even still, clinicians need to learn how to integrate all of the information, tools, and technologies at their disposal to ensure we’re delivering the highest quality of care possible.
My guest this week, John Spencer, is a great person to talk to about this subject. He’s been an independent consultant for years, working with large companies like Chrysler & Unisys. He’s worked on projects for several states and agencies, involving strategic management, leadership development, and operational management. After spending years in the corporate world, he partnered with a clinician to develop PT Browser.
