Description
Every innovation in healthcare—AI, interoperability, consumer apps—only matters if patients can actually access and benefit from it. In this interactive session, Kristen Valdes, CEO of b.well Connected Health, will explore where patient access is breaking down today, how emerging technologies are creating new opportunities, and what a better future could look like. The conversation will then move into a fireside panel with member organizations, bringing community perspectives to the forefront. Panelists will share the barriers they’ve overcome to make patient access real and the unique value they can deliver.
