Are your patients and members so concerned about contracting COVID-19 that they are afraid to seek preventative care? Between deferred care, COVID-19 vaccine engagement, and the need to illuminate and address socioeconomic challenges and health equity, patient engagement presents new challenges as move into 2021. Do your current strategies measure up?

Please join us Lurie Children’s Pediatric Partners, an integrated network in Chicago, and Community Health Plan of Washington, a nonprofit health plan supporting Medicaid and Medicare populations, as they share their experiences and lessons learned from 2020, and discuss challenges ahead.

Both organizations knew early in the spring of 2020 that this year would make patient engagement difficult. They took this opportunity to rethink how they engaged with their populations by taking the lead in educating patients about the new public health threat, offering resources, and sharing guidance on preventative care.

The webinar will look at:

• Tools to support patients as the pandemic continues
• Engaging and educating patients around COVID-19 vaccinations
• Closing preventative care gaps and addressing deferred care
• Advancing health equity by addressing SDOH at the point of care

REGISTRATION NOTE: This webinar will be recorded and made available to registrants should the timing with Inauguration Day pose a conflict.
