What Matters Most: Improving the Patient Experience CME
Are you looking for innovative ways to improve your patients’ experiences?
Numerous studies have shown that a patient’s primary health care experience and, to some extent, their health care outcomes are largely dependent upon health care provider and patient interactions. That is why Wellpoint offers an online learning site called My Diverse Patients.
Through use of compelling real-life stories and practical strategies for implementing patient care, learn how to apply best practices and communicate with your diverse patient population.
Take the course!
Our course, What Matters Most: Improving the Patient Experience, can be accessed using your smartphone, tablet or computer. Continuing medical education (CME) credits are available for this and many other courses.
