Overview
We are amid a significant transformation in healthcare. The journey for patients, too often siloed and isolated, has moved from “traditional” to “smart,” creating a patient-centered and engaging approach to care. By leveraging virtual care platforms, interoperable data, remote care and monitoring, and predictive analytics and artificial intelligence, we are realizing the promise of a real, value-based, hybrid care model.  

What You’ll Hear
True care coordination requires actual engagement, and meaningful, empathetic interactions, not just episodic answering of surveys or secure messages directed to a patient's inbox.

During this webinar, you’ll learn how Jasper Health is tackling longstanding issues with interoperability and workflow inefficiencies by providing patients and caregivers with an engaging, highly valuable guided concierge service. This service leverages chat, telemedicine, and human coaching to deliver hybrid care guidance, and leapfrog over the current friction points in the care experience.

Learn how these interactions provide psychosocial insights, navigation, and guidance across the cancer continuum for patients and caregivers.  

• Payors – Learn how a hybrid care model enables human-led navigation and guidance, provides whole-person insights, and increases member engagement and satisfaction.
• Employers – Learn how a hybrid care model connects employees with concierge care from diagnosis through return to work, providing psychosocial support, and enabling access to resources and best in class care.
• Patients – Learn how a concierge model, like Jasper Cancer Care Companion, can improve you or your loved one’s cancer care experience.

The task force aims to make sure the U.S. is prepared for the next pandemic and ensure our country has a more resilient medical supply chain.

The Task Force is seeking feedback from stakeholders regarding the utilization of wearable technologies, expansion of telemedicine, and the digital modernization efforts in the U.S. healthcare system. Download EHI's response below.

OVERVIEW

Fitbit made its debut in 2009 as a step tracker. Fast forward to today and Fitbit doesn’t just track steps, but can also help people reduce stress, eat well, get better sleep, and improve activity levels to reach recommended guidelines more efficiently.

In this fireside chat, Dr. John Moore and Dr. Kapil Parakh from Google discussed this continued evolution and how today’s Fitbit experience helps users connect the dots between their everyday behaviors and overall health & well-being.

During this presentation, you'll hear:

• How personalized health and well-being experiences (like Fitbit’s) are being used to help people live better with chronic conditions, and how they may also play a part in prevention.
• The outcomes of clinical studies that show how the addition of Fitbit to health interventions can help enhance their impact.

Note: Presentation was pre-recorded and followed by a live Q&A with the speakers.

EHI joined more than 100 organizations this week in urging Congress to reinstate virtual care access for those with high-deductible health plans with health savings accounts (HDHP-HSAs).

As part of the CARES Act, Congress allowed employers and health plans to provide pre-deductible coverage for telehealth services for employees with HDPH-HSAs (32 million Americans). This flexibility expired on December 31, 2021, and organizations are urging Congress to take action to reinstate, especially given the recent surge in COVID cases.

This Executive Roundtable Panel focused on how Native Americans/Alaskan Natives are using telehealth to reach patients in resource constraint communities to combat the COVID-19 pandemic. The discussion addressed the data gaps and challenges, funding sources, the existing digital divide and provider innovations in the delivery of care.

What would change if patients knew the cost of care before they went to a doctor's office? 

eHI joined Axway, Zipnosis, and Blue Cross Blue Shield of North Dakota to discuss partner connectivity and process challenges, managing bulk data, and using APIs to source data and deliver results to patients and providers.
