SAN JOSE, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Vocera
Communications, Inc. (NYSE:VCRA), a recognized leader in clinical
communication and workflow solutions, today announced that its
Experience Innovation Network will convene its 15th Chief
Experience Officer (CXO) Roundtable October 23-24, 2018, in San
Francisco. This invitation-only event will focus on ways to empower
patients and families to lead human-centered design innovation in
partnership with clinicians.
Research
published by the Experience Innovation Network shows that many
health systems are getting better at including patients in traditional
improvement strategies, but more work is needed to deeply engage
patients and families as co-architects in all aspects of care. This
milestone CXO Roundtable will kick off with an interactive discovery and
design workshop with six patients. Partnering with Nick Dawson, Chair of
the Executive Board at Stanford Medicine X, this workshop will teach
participants the principles and practices of a successful patient-led
design process to reshape the future of caring.
“Healing healthcare starts by empowering patients with the tools they
need to lead design innovation and continues with engaging healthcare
leaders to give them the power to use those tools,” said Bridget Duffy,
MD, Chief Medical Officer of Vocera and co-founder of the Experience
Innovation Network. “It is time to transcend traditional ideas, break
down silos, and reimagine new ways care teams work together with
patients and families.”
Keynote speakers for the CXO Roundtable are Chip Conley, MBA, author of
“Wisdom @ Work: The Making of a Modern Elder,” and Patch Adams, MD,
founder Gesundheit! Institute. Conley, the founder of Joie de Vivre
Hospitality and strategic advisor for hospitality and leadership at
Airbnb, recently founded the Modern
Elder Academy to help people reframe and repurpose their lifetime of
experiences to add greater good to the world. He is also collaborating
with the Experience Innovation Network to create an academy cohort for
healthcare professionals to mentor the next generation of leaders.
For more than 40 years, Dr. Patch Adams has devoted his life to changing
healthcare and healing people with joy and creativity. In 1971, he
founded Gesundheit! Institute and has been relentless in his mission to
care for others without a voice. His work has helped inspire global
discussions about healthcare delivery with a focus on compassion and
service to ease the suffering of humanity.
