Healthcare Institute for Virtual Education
The Healthcare Institute for Virtual Education (HIVE) serves as a source of knowledge, collaboration and educational opportunities for patients, providers and researchers interested in the field of Virtual Care.
About Us
Our Mission
Our mission is to accelerate the development and adoption of innovative patient-centered care delivery models, enabled by technology, and to advance the impact of virtual care through training, accreditation programs, outcomes research and thought leadership.
Through the digital transformation of healthcare, we are expanding healthcare access, reducing health inequities, and improving health outcomes around the world.
What we do
The HIVE provides a forum for global learning and sharing, bringing critical information to one place for the benefit of many. Users will be able to learn about the challenges faced by patients and clinicians in many countries – challenges related to COVID-19 and the access to virtual care in general.
H
is for Human
We believe in the re-humanization of healthcare, enabled by technology. The Institute will bring together distinguished thought leaders from the field of medicine, life sciences, human sciences and technology to collaborate on identifying problems and designing solutions to the worldwide crisis and expanding access to virtual care where it’s needed most.
I
is for Insights
The Institute will establish a “cooperative” for content creation, curation, distribution and validation by virtual care and education experts globally. Understanding the unmet needs of different communities, systems and countries around the world will enable us to co-create solutions to service those needs.
V
is for Validation
The Institute will oversee certification programs in Digital Transformation and Virtual Care for members who have demonstrated their ability to use Virtual Care platforms to improve access to care and outcomes for patients across a range of use cases.
E
is for Execution
The HIVE will host working groups to tackle some of the burgeoning problems affecting global health and bringing innovation and emerging technology to transform the way healthcare is taught, delivered and experienced globally.
