Connecting with patients and families during COVID-19 – Part 1

As health care organizations consider ramping up elective procedures and other clinical practices scaled back or stopped due to COVID, one voice usually absent from these considerations is that of the patient. Yet, patients and families ultimately determine if these procedures will even happen. On this episode, we discuss how to engage patients and families when you resume your procedures, learning the factors they deem crucial in their decisions to have elective surgery or even come in for routine visits.
