Medicare Annual Wellness Visits (AWV) are yearly appointments for Medicare beneficiaries to maintain their health and promote preventive care, but, they are underutilized. To address this issue, Froedtert Health implemented a digital bulk outreach strategy targeted to patients due or overdue for visits, allowing self-scheduling through messages. This improved patient retention by 15%. Meeting patients where they are enhances engagement and compliance in value-based care, benefiting both patients and providers. https://viz.inc/3UG8Zc3

Since 1989, breast cancer death rates have fallen by 44%, thanks to advancements in early detection and treatment. Yet disparities remain—Black women are still 38% more likely to die from breast cancer than white women, and outcomes for American Indian/Alaska Native women have seen little improvement. So, why do these gaps persist, and what can health systems do to address them? Setu Shah, Sr. Intelligence Consultant at Sg2, a Vizient, Inc company, suggests starting by removing barriers to access, which can increase screenings and preventive care. "Many women from underserved communities distrust health systems, and providers must find ways to build better trust within their areas to provide preventative care," says Shah.
