Event Description

Data is undoubtedly one of the strongest driving forces in planning, evaluation and analysis, but do you have a complete picture of the care a patient receives, from pre-hospital response to hospital discharge? Join us as INOVA Healthcare and Fairfax County Fire and Rescue debunk common myths of data sharing, and discuss the nuances of working together and getting started to break down barriers in healthcare communication. We’ll address the biggest myths and what our panel discovered when putting that to the test in the real world. We’ll also pose questions from the audience as your chance to get insight from industry peers as we build a more data-rich world of informed patient care.
