SAN JOSE, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--
Vocera
Communications, Inc. (NYSE:VCRA), a recognized leader in clinical
communication and workflow solutions, announced today that its
Experience Innovation Network will convene its 13th Chief
Experience Officer (CXO) Roundtable October 17-19, 2017, in San
Francisco. This three day, invitation-only event will focus on
ground-breaking research, human-centered technologies, and best
practices shaping the future of caring.
The Experience Innovation Network is a community of thought leaders from
across the United States and Canada focused on addressing the Quadruple
Aim of improving population health, elevating patient-centered care, and
reducing costs while restoring care team resilience and well-being.
Twice a year network members, innovators and guest speakers assemble to
discuss innovations and strategies that are accelerating transformation
and deepening the body of evidence that links human experience in
healthcare to quality, safety, loyalty and outcomes.
The latest research by the Experience Innovation Network will be
discussed and made available during the CXO Roundtable. The report, Communication
Deconstructed, takes an in-depth look at healthcare communication
and offers a framework for effective, human-centered clinical
communication. The framework includes seven key elements identified by
in-depth interviews with clinical communication experts, senior
healthcare executives inside and outside the member Network, as well as
patients. Case studies in the report span topics ranging from high
reliability, interdisciplinary rounding, difficult communications, and
creating respectful personal connections.
The power of communication will be a central theme at the fall CXO
Roundtable, where an impressive lineup of patient advocates, physician
and nurse leaders, healthcare executives, scientists, authors,
innovators and researchers will take the stage. Among the keynote
speakers and panelists are:
-
