WEDI's new Patient Experience Workgroup will focus primarily on bringing the patient perspective and patient experience into health care business processes and workflow and including the patient viewpoint across WEDI workgroups and initiatives. Initial topics for the workgroup include: (i) level setting on current patient advocacy initiatives within health IT data standards; (ii) providing insight into patient use of health technology; and (iii) educating patients on using health APIs and how best to ensure the confidentiality of their health information. Join co-chairs Anna Hyde (Arthritis Foundation) and Emma Andelson (American Medical Association) on the Second Monday of each month at 1pm ET beginning September 8th!
