Virtual press conference; Washington, DC
June 15 at 11 a.m. ET
During a livestreaming press conference, the Council of Accountable Physician Practices and the Bipartisan Policy Center will announce the results of a 2016 Nielsen Survey outlining patient experiences with the health care system.
The issues to be highlighted during the press conference include:
- Care coordination: are medical teams sharing information and collaborating in patient care, especially for patients with chronic illnesses?
- Prevention: are physicians ensuring that patients actually get preventive and proactive care to reduce the likelihood of illness and promote health?
- Technology-enabled: Do patients and doctors have access to the digital communication and monitoring tools that improve access to and quality of care?
- 24/7 access: Can patients really get care when they need it, without going to the emergency room?
Senator Johnny Isakson (R-Ga.), co-chair of the Senate Chronic Care Working Group, will serve as the keynote speaker and Tim Gronniger, deputy chief of staff at the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services, will give opening remarks at the afternoon event.
There will be a webcast of “Better Together Health: Patient Expectations and the Accountability Gap,” beginning at 1 p.m.
