AGENDA

 

  • Overview of general activity of the Patient Advocate Unit.

 

  • There will be a presentation by Ms. Ilene Corina, a Patient Safety and Advocate Consultant, and the founder and President of the Pulse Center for Patient Safety, Education, & Advocacy (Pulse CPSEA). Consumers of healthcare and healthcare information are frequently challenged to advocate for themselves through the many facets of healthcare. Teaching patients how to navigate the healthcare system and to communicate more effectively with their healthcare provider serves to facilitate better decision making, better patient outcomes, and improves the lives of patients, their families, and caregivers. Ilene will be providing information and guidance that will increase your knowledge on how to be your own best advocate, or the advocate for another in need of help and support. The patient advocate strives to foster a collaborative relationship between the patient and the healthcare team and optimize the patient-provider dynamic in an increasingly complex medical environment.

 

If you will be joining us for this meeting, please let us know in advance if you will need an accommodation that will make the event accessible to you.

 

Media representatives who would like information or who plan to attend the meeting are asked to contact Grace Kelly-McGovern at 631-854-0095.
