Of all the grand opportunities in healthcare, patient engagement is the biggest. Simply put: How we pay for healthcare has changed forever. Now literally thousands of experiments are under way mixing accountable care organizations, digital health, big data, medical homes, new reimbursement strategies, telemedicine and more. They’re all trying to unlock how to better engage patients and deliver high-value healthcare in a new era.
That’s why we’ve convened MedCity ENGAGE, a summit on patient engagement and healthcare delivery on June 5 and 6 in Washington, D.C. You need to attend. Top payers, providers and policymakers will join healthcare’s technology sector and the ecosystem supporting patient engagement for the one conference that will best outline consumer engagement trends that sit at the core of healthcare innovation and reform.

“We need to bring together people from diverse perspectives — patients, providers, developers, payers — to collaborate and find new ways to engage consumers through technology,” Ricciardi said. “Information technology is both upgrading the traditional healthcare system and also empowering consumers to engage more fully in their health and healthcare as never before. Let’s use technology to tap into the power of consumers — the most underutilized resource in healthcare.”
We didn’t pick ENGAGE’s time and place lightly. That week of ENGAGE is the time for discussions on healthcare data and innovation. The ENGAGE conference follows the big data-focused Health Datapalooza. Plus, Washington, D.C. is the epicenter for the biggest decisions pending on patient engagement and healthcare delivery.
In short: Everyone with a stake in transforming medicine will be in the nation’s capital that entire week solving healthcare’s biggest challenges.
