PCC webinar: Technology and Advanced Primary Care

Technology is a key driver on the road to the future. But technology can bring primary care to some favorable and some unfavorable places. What is working to uphold the promise of advanced primary care captured in the Shared Principles of Primary Care? How might technology be undermining such promise? How is technology enhancing the quadruple aim, and where may it be getting in the way? How does equity factor in? How could better use of technology have helped primary care and public health during the pandemic? This webinar explores these questions and more with experts and thinkers on healthcare tech and information.
