Let’s push aside our natural desire to indulge in long-term, big-picture theories about the issues vexing healthcare. Instead, let’s focus on what’s working now and what’s next in the new approaches to patient engagement and healthcare delivery. Then, let’s commit to pushing those solutions now.
That what’s-next approach drives MedCity ENGAGE, MedCityNews.com’s executive summit on patient engagement and healthcare delivery on June 5-6 in Washington, D.C. We’re just a few weeks away from the event. Nearly 300 leaders from the federal government, health systems, insurance companies and other sectors are already registered to join us.
I want to make sure you get the chance to be a part of the event too. Here’s why you should come.
The Healthcare Payments Industry Has a Perception Problem
Healthcare payments are no longer about transactions. It’s about controlling the revenue cycle. And increasingly, that control is not sitting with ISOs.
ENGAGE will have constant #realtalk conversations on everything from using data and managing accountable care organizations to implementing gamification and adopting a retail approach to healthcare.
The agenda will be set by the likes of Mayo Clinic, members of Congress, Walgreens, Pfizer, Health and Human Services, UnitedHealth, Humana, Partners HealthCare, Angie’s List, the U.S. Department of Veteran’s Affairs, Cleveland Clinic and beyond. Those established groups will be coupled by fresh voices — whether they are consumers or new thinkers within the medical industry — who have been regularly working to empower underserved patients; create new, tech-driven solutions to help foster patient engagement; or make policy mandates work at the grassroots level.
Plus, nearly two dozen innovative companies will be part of an Innovation Showcase full of unique solutions to create better patient engagement.
Those who come will be actively joining the discussion. Your ideas will be recorded so we can continue the conversation about what should be done around patient engagement. ENGAGE attendees will take part in an on-site poll answering key questions around patient engagement. Meanwhile, a video booth will capture attendees’ points of view on what’s working and needs to be done to better engage patients.
