Patients-Provider Collaboration Equals Better Care
Participatory medicine is a movement in which activated, empowered patients engage as drivers of their health, and in which providers encourage and collaborate with them as full partners in their care. This Webinar discusses successful initiatives to realize the benefits of this innovative approach to care delivery.
Our speaker, Dr. Danny Sands, is a founder of The Society for Participatory Medicine (S4PM),a not-for-profit membership organization devoted to promoting the concept of participatory medicine by stimulating dialogue, influencing policy, advocating research, and educating patients, health care professionals, and others. S4PM members include stakeholders from across the health care continuum, representing patients, caregivers, health care professionals, health care executives, and others who do work or have an interest in health care.

For over twenty years he has worked at the intersection of health care, technology, and business. His career began at Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center, where he trained in clinical informatics and went on to develop and implement numerous systems to improve clinical care delivery and patient engagement. He then became chief medical officer for Zix Corporation, and helped them become a leader in secure e-mail and e-prescribing. He then served as chief medical informatics officer at Cisco providing both internal and external health IT leadership and helping key customers with business and clinical transformation using IT.
