Gel Health will explore the patient experience - how to improve it, and who's doing it, in a variety of organizations and companies. Like any Gel conference, we'll tackle the theme from a broad array of perspectives. Sign up here.
See who's signed up already.
A good primer on patient experience is this video of Bridget Duffy's talk at Gel 2008. If this video speaks to you, this event is for you!
If you're interested in the patient experience - or in improving health care - for professional or personal reasons - please join us at Gel Health 2009.
