Adventist Health Columbia Gorge’s Post

In public health we often seem to want to direct people down the ONE PATH that we have decided they should use to get to the ONE DESTINATION that we have decided they should get to. But we humans are funny. We generally don't care what path other people want us to take or where they want us to end up, unless it just happens to align with where we are coming from, where we want to go, and how we want to get there. So. As public health professionals do we spend our time trying to cajole and coerce and even shame people down our one chosen path to our one chosen destination? Or do we acknowledge the multitude of paths and destinations that people choose for themselves and pave the way for them to do that more easily?

With 'patient engagement' continuing as an enduring buzz phrase in health IT, we see a continuos stream of point solutions from hospital TV companies to mobile ED apps to chat bots. Little point solutions delivering little anecdotal outcomes while clinical and business pressures mount for executive leaders and disjointed solutions and costs pile up. Get Well moved beyond its own point solutions to create the industry's first enterprise consumer engagement platform - GetWell 360 - to drive patient activation, navigation and retention. The results are in! These numbers are not typos: - 90 communities across CA, WA, OR and HI; 400+ sites of care - 1.5m+ patients - 20m+ automate interactions complemented by 400k+ custom virtual interactions by GetWell Navigators - $100m+ net patient revenue in <24 months! These statistics are NOT across the entire company, this is a single Get Well client partner taking a strategic, enterprise approach to digital engagement. Thank you Adventist Health Jennifer Stemmler Jason Wells, MBA, CMPE, FACHE for leaning in, putting consumers first and pushing innovation, patient love and ROI as the clear North Star. We are proud to be on this journey with you. #platformoverpointsolution

It's National Public Health Week, and this year's theme is "We Are All Public Health." The National Public Health Week website reads: "Public health is more than just health care. It's the steps we take to make sure our neighborhoods and environment are free from pollution. It's making sure our food and water are safe to eat and drink. It's also the relationships we foster in our communities. We're all interconnected. When we all come together to support public health, all of us — individuals, families, communities and the public health field — can achieve the goals of public health." What can make our neighborhoods healthy? here are some ideas:   https://brnw.ch/21wIrCo
