Understanding the Patient Better to Provide Better Care In an industry where every decision has the potential to impact patient outcomes, understanding the patient must be everyone’s responsibility—not just those on the frontlines. Yet many leaders across healthcare still struggle to connect their daily work to the real needs, experiences, and voices of patients. This panel brings together executives from HBA’s corporate partners who are leading the way in embedding patient understanding into every level of their organizations. They’ll share how they are bridging gaps between strategy and lived experience, using patient insights to drive innovation, build trust, and deliver more equitable care. Attendees will gain practical strategies and fresh inspiration to better connect their work to the patients they ultimately serve—no matter their role. |
