About this event

In this presentation, Dr. Khadijah Booth Watkins will provide an understanding of the essential elements of treatment planning and coordinating care. She will outline strategies to foster adherence, integrate services and encourage open lines of communication among providers. Coordination of care is necessary to provide comprehensive care and improve patient outcomes.
