Sponsored Post, Patient Engagement

3 challenges, 1 winner. Help sculpt a unique patient engagement solution

Are you ready to bring your ideas to life in the name of better healthcare?

This article is sponsored by MedCity ENGAGE.

Enough talk about patient engagement. Take your insights and mold them into a mandate.

Attendees of MedCity ENGAGE on July 14-15 in Bethesda will do just that. Teams will work on three issues critical to patient engagement – led by healthcare organizations already dedicated to the issue: Kindred Healthcare, Sharecare and Lumiata.

Each group will present their ideas to the full MedCity ENGAGE audience. The audience will vote, and MedCityNews.com will publish the winning idea. Our journalists will then continue to examine the concept throughout the rest of the year, writing stories that explore the ideas developed by the winning patient engagement solution.

Less talk. More action. Real change.

Are your ideas strong enough to develop a real patient engagement solution – and then present that idea to the likes of the chief technology officer of Health and Human Services?

If so, sign up to attend MedCity ENGAGE and then register to join in challenges before all the spaces fill up.

Challenge 1. Prescriptions in Innovative Patient Engagement (managed by Sharecare)

Individual care directives are often narrowly focused on specific prescriptive actions around healthy behaviors. There is significant opportunity to promote health and wellness by engaging innovations outside of taking medications and other health-focused activities. This workshop explores the potential activities and innovations that might be considered in care prescriptions that will foster positive patient engagement. Participants will discuss and develop a potential list of ancillary actions beyond typical prescriptive actions that will promote better interactions around health.

Challenge 2. Deploying Health Data Stories (managed by Lumiata)

The amount of health data being created daily around individuals is dramatically increasing, yet the number of opportunities to communicate the potential informational value of that data has not changed significantly. This workshop explores innovative new ways to promote patient and stakeholder engagement through the dissemination of personalized, data-driven health visualizations, known as “health data stories.” Participants will work together to explore what the opportunities are for aggregators and holders of health data to extract substantially higher engagement value through meaningful health-data visualization.

Challenge 3. Dynamic Engagement-Rich Messaging (managed by Kindred Healthcare)

The level of patient engagement can often be traced to the size and quality of the communication streams individuals receive. Oftentimes, organizations have a one-size-fits-all approach to how they interact with patients. This workshop explores how leading organizations are building flexible, yet robust channels for interacting with patients and how those channels are being personalized to individuals to obtain better care outcomes and strong engagement. Participants will develop a framework for communication-channel evaluation and improvement, perceived through a lens of promoting sustained high-value engagement.

Join us at MedCity ENGAGE on July 14-15 in Bethesda to explore these issues in patient engagement and many others.
