Innovations in knowledge dissemination: Improving the quality of patient literature

Health care has long relied on traditional methods of education materials such as pamphlets, booklets, posters, and reminder notices. Yet, there are a wide range of new technologies and new innovative approaches to knowledge dissemination that may be much more effective in making sure patients, families, communities, and health professionals have the health information they need to make good decisions.   

When a persons’ health is challenged they are put under pressures that are difficult to prepare for. Illness affects everyone differently but there is one constant across the entire patient experience, the need for information that is clear, easy to access, and easy to understand. 

The digital age has resulted in more information being available than ever before. Health care needs to embrace new health information technologies and use them to support patients, families and communities access the information they need to be healthy. Dr. Anne Snowdon’s presentation will show you how innovative knowledge dissemination tools can improve patient care.
