Clinical Collaboration: Networking for Better Care

Access to information is critical to ensuring the quality of patient care. Everyone involved with providing care needs to have ready access to the most current patient information, without delay. In this webcast, Lt. Commander Andrea Scott, deputy CIO at the Indian Health Service, will discuss how IHS creates a connected environment to support collaboration among healthcare professionals who often are geographically distributed.

Potential topics to be addressed include:

  • Supporting collaboration across different medical settings, including clinics and emergency rooms
  • Ensuring that physicians in different settings have easy access to patient data
  • Leveraging network technology to augment the capacity of a given clinic
