MN Health Care Roundtable
It was an honor for Dr. Vivi-Ann Fischer to represent Fulcrum in participating in the 53rd session of the Minnesota Health Care Roundtable.

The focus of the session was Clinical and Non-clinical Care Teams: Improving interoperability and was held in a remote format with panelists submitting their answers via email.

The panelists provided examples of care team interoperability, how they improve outcomes, the primary obstacles to creating this improvement, and how improved care team interoperability can address issues in health care that involve diversity, equity and inclusion.

We invite you to read the publication at MN Health Care Roundtable Session 53 (mnphy.com).
