September 23, 2009 | Webinar: Fostering Open Dialogues in Health: Disruptive Women in Health Care – Hot Topics in Genetics and Advocacy
Fostering open dialogues on hot topics in health presents unique challenges. Today, innovators are exploring the use of technology to generate multiple perspectives in these dialogues. The Disruptive Women in Health Care blog is an example of the rich and open dialogues happening online now.

Presenters:

* Robin Strongin – President & CEO, Amplify Public Affairs, LLC; Creator & Founder, Disruptive Women in Health Care blog
* Ruthann Russo – Partner, Russo & Russo, LLP
* Pat Ford Roegner – CEO, American Academy of Nursing

Hear about the model Disruptive Women in Health Care employed and their principles for fostering openness. Presenters also outline health reform as an example of how this open dialogue is taking place and fostering interaction. Specifically, they discuss ways care will be delivered from an integrated team-based approach, and how patients and caregivers will be active participants or advocates in the new health system created after health reform.
