The Physician Perspective
When physicians across the system participated in the 2008 physician partnership survey, one common theme that emerged was to enhance communications. Since the survey, EHC leadership and physicians have partnered on several communications-related initiatives, such as:
- Physician Advisory Group
- Increased physician involvement in EeMR revisions
- Leadership presence at section meetings
To continue broadening communications and establish a platform by which physicians across the system can share the work they are doing related to quality and enhancing the patient experience, a multimedia communications campaign – The Physician Perspective – was launched in July 2010. Through a series of brief videos, e-mails and online articles, your physician colleagues speak to you about their experiences.
To learn about The Physician Perspective, check your EHC e-mail or visit the Web site http://www.ourehc.org/clinical-resources/physician-perspective/index.html.
