ENGAGE at HLTH - In partnership with MedCity News

Patient engagement and experience have become an ever pressing priority for healthcare stakeholders of all stripes following Covid. The agenda will explore how providers and payers are focusing on patient-centricity in the light of a pandemic that kept many people at home, as well as how they and others are working towards more equitable care for all. Hear from patients, leading provider/ payer executives and tech startups about how to move the needle forward in patient experience.

Reimagining the In-Person Patient Experience

Whether it be in a clinic or in the hospital, patients want to be seen and heard. Traditional EHR technology forces the primary care physician behind a screen as they scramble to enter information into the clinical record. Meanwhile, the physical design of a space, be it an out-patient center, or a hospital, can also have a great impact on a patient’s experience as can the experience of setting up appointments and communication. Learn from a panel of experts about how the patient journey can be improved.  Moderator: Jack Stockert, Managing Director, Health 2047Speakers:Tom Bianculli, CTO, Zebra TechnologiesPeter Durlach, Executive Vice President and Chief Strategy Officer at Nuance CommunicationsErica Olenski Johansen, Founding Executive Director, August ArtistsShannon Connor Phillips, ​​Former VP, Region Chief Medical Officer, Ambulatory Care; President, Intermountain Medical Group-UT, Intermountain Healthcare

Hear from the CEO of an up-and-coming PBM who doesn’t mince his words and calls out the large PBMs for their unfair practices. Moderator: Arundhati Parmar, Editor-in-Chief, MedCity NewsSpeaker: A.J.
