Last week, GLOBO was joined by Dr. Christina Cordero of the Joint Commission to discuss how health systems can navigate patient-centered communication standards during the shift toward virtual care.
While the ways in which patients access care has seen a dramatic shift, those efforts aren't always equitable. As the healthcare industry rushed to improve virtual care options, many solutions have not been designed with the limited-English proficient (LEP) population in mind. As the world adapts to the “new normal,” it’s critical for us to create experiences that don’t leave the 25 million Americans considered to be LEP in the dark.
- Gene Schriver, Founder & CEO of GLOBO
Dr. Christina Cordero developed the patient-centered communication standards and the Joint Commission monograph Advancing Effective Communication, Cultural Competence, and Patient- and Family-Centered Care: A Roadmap for Hospitals. She is the expert in the Joint Commission's Patient-Centered care standards and extended her expertise in this talk.
In the webinar, we discuss:
- Patient-centered communication standards in the changing healthcare landscape
- How access to language support can improve the patient experience and aid in better outcomes
- How we at GLOBO are thinking about Patient-Centered Care and how we build technology solutions for some of these challenges
