Hi there!! I’m Minhanh! I've been working as a Research Analyst at MyCareText and it's been a refreshing change from what I’m use to doing! For over 10 years I’ve worked in different fields of healthcare from a pharmacy technician to bedside nursing to now a family nurse practitioner. At each healthcare company I’ve worked at, there’s always one thing that can make or break my working experience, the technology.
This week, representatives from MyCareText attended the Institute for Patient- and Family-Centered Care conference in New York City to keep current on the latest advances in patient engagement. Engaging patients in their care is a multifaceted, ongoing process that doctors, clinics and health care systems continually strive to improve.
