Complex care systems are not just complicated, they are fragmented, misaligned, and too often built in ways that fail to account for patients. This shifts burden and risk onto patients – who are already navigating health and social challenges. Please join us for this enlightening webinar session, led by four individuals with lived experiences, that examines the role of patient empowerment as a necessary response to system failings. During this session the panelists will unpack the meaning of patient empowerment in practical terms – exploring how it relates to care delivery, healthcare technology, clinical trials, and medical research – and identify actionable ways we can all make patient empowerment a priority.
