Swiss ePatient Day 2011

29 Juni 2011, AMTS, Luzerner Kantonsspital, Switzerland.
The internet has now reached every age group and every last corner of society. The vast majority of patients is online, gathering the health information they need independently, networking amongst themselves, and exchanging experiences on a wide variety of treatments and service providers. The role of patients has metamorphosed in recent years - from passive, dependent recipients of medical services to active participants in the healthcare system. These "e-patients" seek involvement in the processes, want to manage their own records and become active players in their treatment.

Their aspirations point to a host of opportunities for service providers such as hospitals and physicians as new, innovative models and solutions promoting interaction and communication are able to approach specific e-patients and involve them in selected processes. Two examples: Checkup terminals in hospitals that save patients time and raise administrative efficiency, and an online portal for managing health data that positions clinics as innovative caregivers, which let their patients help keep their own data in order.

Find inspiration at the 1st Swiss E-Patient Day and let prestigious international experts show you how to effectively involve e-patients in your processes as you join with them in facing the new challenges.
