The electronic health record (EHR) and other health information technologies (HIT) have profoundly affected the relationship between patients & their practitioners and between practitioners and their work. This second international symposium will bring together diverse patients, professionals, and researchers to examine what science and front line practice has taught us about the impact of the EHR and other HIT on the patient-practitioner relationship, how human relationships figure in software and device design and implementation, ethical stewardship of shared data, and current best practices for successfully integrating HIT into clinical practice, while keeping the patient at the center of care. We shall consider the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on these issues.

May 7th: Healing relationships in medicine depend on the support of the institutions that surround us. Our fifth and final virtual session will examine how government, institutions, and other stakeholders can move health information technology (HIT) in the direction of supporting (or disrupting) human connection.  The rapid adoption of HIT has raised many important ethical concerns for patients and practitioners. We shall present a robust discussion of some of the most challenging issues in the ethical stewardship of shared data. 

Patients Included
PPC-2020 is committed to incorporating the experience of patients as experts in living with their condition while ensuring
