2015 — High Tech Patient-Physician Relationships

Better Together Health 2015

High Tech and High Touch: Patient-Physician Relationships in the New Millennium

November 4, 2015, The Center for Total Health, Washington, D.C. 

What do consumers really think about technologically enable care?

What kinds of technologies are appropriate to support the efficient delivery of care?

How can health systems implement and promote meaningful technology that enhances the patient-physician relationship?

The Council of Accountable Physician Practices and the Bipartisan Policy Center encourage you to voice your reaction to these real life stories of successful accountable and technologically-enabled care. What can these stories teach us about the possibilities offered by organized, accountable care? What barriers exist that keep this kind of care from being available to all Americans?

Who has the power to bring more accountability to American health care?
