Description
Patients today confront challenges that reach far beyond the diagnosis itself, such as what information to believe, understanding that information, and how to apply it to achieve better health. Today's chief medical officers reside squarely at the intersection of innovation, patient advocacy, safety and well being, and communication, and play a unique role in their respective organizations. This panel of chief medical officers will discuss their responsibilities to patients and in improving health care in an evolving landscape.
