Achieving Clinical Effectiveness to Improve Healthcare Delivery and Outcomes

Denise Basow, MD, President and CEO of Clinical Effectiveness, Wolters Kluwer Health. Over the last several decades, clinical decision support solutions have demonstrated success in helping improve quality of care in the American healthcare system. But the need to “broaden that impact” has led professionals to consider a more holistic approach to decision support that takes into account patient engagement, consistency of care, and the ability to measure improvements in outcomes. Dr. Basow shares advances in technology and knowledge that facilitate clinician-patient communication, encourage ongoing education among professionals and consumers, analyze spend and purchasing decision options, support treatment adherence, reduce errors, and standardize care across the healthcare landscape.
