How would you assess your organization’s patient engagement initiatives today? And what are the necessary steps toward patient-centered care that achieves sustained behavior change?

Our Patient Partnership Maturity Model traces the path of patient partnership across five steps:

• Support: Baseline level for generalized patient education 
• Engage: Advanced support for specific service lines + patient populations
•	Activate: Proactive care across the continuum 
•	Coach: Longitudinal care
•	Partner: Whole-person care through real-time personalization

This model is meant to help your organization assess its maturity while providing you with a trajectory that can inform short- and long-term clinical and business strategies for initiating or improving patient engagement efforts.

Join us to learn how to assess the current state of your engagement initiatives, both for individual patient encounters and at an enterprise level, and hear what actions will help empower patients as partners in order to provide optimized care that drives better clinical, financial, and quality outcomes.

Beyond Patient Engagement: How to Partner with Patients to Optimize Care

The COVID-19 pandemic has tragically highlighted what we already knew: standard healthcare delivery underserves Black, Hispanic or Latino, and Native American communities. 

Health systems have work to do to establish trust with vulnerable populations that have consistently suffered from lack of access to care and bias when seeking care. 

Join us to learn how Johns Hopkins Medicine is training staff and care teams to recognize and address bias and communicate in ways that resonate with all patient populations. Learn how Wolters Kluwer develops educational materials with plain language and inclusive images that can help patients of different races, health literacy levels, and physical abilities achieve a better understanding of their healthcare journeys and increase their motivation to participate in their care.

Addressing Bias in Healthcare to Optimize Care for Vulnerable Populations

Presenters:
•	Jason Burum, VP of Patient Engagement for Clinical Effectiveness at Wolters Kluwer, Health
•	Amanda Goltz, Principal, Business Development, Alexa Health & Wellness at Amazon

Nearly 90 million adults in the US own a smart speaker, representing a powerful opportunity for providers to engage health consumers with voice technology. To that end, Wolters Kluwer and Amazon have teamed up to develop the new Alexa Health Skill, “Emmi Care Plan.” 

Emmi Care Plan acts as a trusted, on-demand extension of your care team. Throughout the care journey, your team remains closely aligned with patients and will be alerted to any critical changes in their condition.

This innovative approach of using voice assistants can help engage, empower, and meet patients where they are and at their convenience.

Join us to learn how connecting with patients via Alexa-enabled devices supports:
•	visibility into a more longitudinal stream of patient condition information
•	the ability to tailor and customize care plans in real-time
•	improved engagement and outcomes

"Alexa, open Emmi® Care Plan."

With drug spend per hospital admission up 18.5% and off-formulary medications and non-compliant treatments draining hospital resources, aligning care teams to keep everyone on-formulary is a top priority. Join us to hear Dr. Peter Bonis discuss how access to hospital drug policy information in the same workflow as clinical decision support makes aligning pharmacists and prescribers possible, thereby improving patient and health outcomes.

Learn from a real-world example how providing hospital drug policy information in the same workflow as clinical decision support can:
•	align pharmacists and prescribers 
•	reduce the need for outmoded, analog resources 
•	help hospital operations perform more smoothly
