Get aligned with patient perspectives on relational care.
This meeting of the Connected Healthcare Community featured a powerful presentation by Beth Kidd, Executive Director of the Health Coalition of Alberta, a group that advocates for the adoption of a relational care model that is centered on patient needs to achieve their full health potential.
Beth explained that by focusing on outcomes that matter most to patients, the healthcare system can achieve many of its goals.
Watch the recording to better understand what defines relational care, and the significant impacts adopting such a model can have across our healthcare system when patients are included as co-managers of their own care.
You will learn important details about relational care models:
- How understanding patient desired outcomes can improve care and reduce costs
- The power of trust, collaboration, empathy, and respect
- The impact of relational care on reducing staff turnover
- How team-based care fits a relational care model
- Three recommendations for implementing a relational care model
Many healthcare professionals misunderstand the concepts of relational care, but this webinar recording makes it clear. The most surprising facts you will learn are:
- The percentage of medical visits that are actually tied to social determinants of health
- How repairing a patient’s roof can be the most effective healthcare
Healthcare gets better when we all work together, and that includes patients as partners in care. When patients are educated and engaged in team-based care (through a relational care model), we can improve outcomes and reduce health system cost.
