Peer consults

Got a PHASE-related problem you want help solving? Ever wonder if your peers have faced the same challenge?

During the second half of lunch, three lucky organizations will have the chance to gather their peers to solicit advice, help brainstorm solutions, serve as testers, or offer feedback. Challenges might include huddle reports or provider dashboards, team-based care implementation, a new workflow, building templates or outreach reports, or evaluating a new resource.
