About Tech4HCP
A Technology Enabled Healthcare Provider is comfortable using digital and physical tools in their approach to clinical care. They are empowered to update their practice patterns when a new approach is available but remain curious to assess if innovation meets the needs of both patient and provider. Technology enabled HCPs combine objective data with the patient’s experience to support a more effective approach to care.
Tech4HCP is aimed at building community for healthcare providers who are integrating technology into practice and those who want to but may not know where to begin!
Current projects investigate the role of technology in physical therapist practice. Future work is aimed at best practices for improving current workflow and building new clinical practice patterns that not only provide better patient care, but a better provider experience.
