Interdisciplinary Communication
Research suggests that good interdisciplinary communication leads to improved patient outcomes. At its best, good communication encourages collaboration, fosters teamwork, and helps prevent errors.
Kick off the evening with some dinner and networking before diving into a series of case presentations. Hear from local health professionals and a Port Macquarie community member and discover the difference that good communication can make in a person’s health care journey. Unpack the use of My Health Record and management plans as a communication tool and learn how these approaches can be made secure to improve your business model. The evening will end with a panel discussion on ways to improve your communication to achieve better health outcomes for patients and clients.
