SAN JOSE, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--
Vocera
Communications, Inc. (NYSE:VCRA), a recognized leader in clinical
communication and workflow solutions, announced today that its research
collaborative, the Experience Innovation Network, is increasing
awareness for new models of care. On a mission to accelerate
human-centered approaches to healthcare delivery, the Experience
Innovation Network is co-hosting a webinar with Stanford’s Clinical
Excellence Research Center (CERC) and exploring a New
Model of Care to Serve Complex Patients. This online discussion,
moderated by Liz Boehm, research director at the Experience Innovation
Network, will take place May 9, from 1-2 p.m. ET.
“Patients living at the confluence of significant physical illness,
mental illness, and poverty need more than just good medicine to meet
their needs. They need care that meets their human and health needs in a
coordinated and caring fashion,” Boehm said.
Research fellows at CERC isolated three widely underutilized
methods to serve these patients cost-effectively. In this
webinar, Stanford Professor and CERC Director Arnie Milstein will
lead the discussion of these three methods, presented by Stanford
research fellows Chuan-Mei Lee, MA, MD, Danielle Rochlin, MD, and
Claudia Scheuter, MD.
“In most states, healthcare systems lose money and clinicians sense
futility in caring for high-need, high-cost patients that cycle through
hospital EDs and often the criminal justice system. Dedicating almost a
year to immersion in the problem and diverse solutions, these three
fellows helped me see three unharvested healthcare system opportunities
to do much better with less,” Dr. Milstein said.
Stanford’s CERC and Vocera’s Experience Innovation Network are working
to advance new models for higher value care that improve the lives of
patients, families and care teams. To register for this complimentary
