With many health observances in February, I have three tips on the criteria #healthcare organizations should use to determine which ones to include in their #communications. - Determine what your goal is for communicating about the observance. The goal needs to be about more than raising awareness. Are you communicating about the observance to connect with patient advocacy organizations? Are you looking to to increase the rate of screenings for the disease the observance is about? If you can’t answer this question, then your organization is not well positioned to comment on the observance. - Identify your organization’s unique perspective. Commenting on health observances is a crowded landscape. What unique perspective does your organization have on the topic that others don’t? Do you work with a specific patient population or research a particular area related to the observance? If you do, look at ways you can leverage patient, provider, or researcher stories. - Research the observance’s reputation. Some observances such as Rare Disease Day (February 29 this year) are supported by a strong patient advocacy organization and already have the reputation to rally strong support. Other observances may not be well known among key stakeholders. If it’s the latter, then it may not be worth putting resources into developing content or programming. #PR #Healthcommunications

How Can You Build Coalitions for Collective Health Impact? Here's how collaboration can lead to health policy success. Collaborating with like-minded organisations, advocacy groups and policymakers can amplify your health policy objectives. Building coalitions strengthens your voice and increases the likelihood of policy success, ultimately improving public health outcomes. This is Tip #6 of my #PolicyProHealthSeries. 10 Considerations for #CoalitionBuilding: 🎯 Identify Common Health Goals: Ensure your collaborators share similar health objectives and values. Common goals provide a solid foundation for effective coalition building. ⚖ Diverse Representation: Aim for diversity in perspectives, backgrounds and expertise. This enriches the coalition's approach and strengthens its ability to address complex health issues. 📶 Clear Communication Channels: Establish clear communication channels for information sharing, decision-making and coordination. Regular meetings and updates enhance communication efficiency. 🔄 Mutual Support in Health Advocacy: Offer and be receptive to support from coalition members. Solidarity and mutual assistance foster trust and strengthen bonds. 👤👥 Leverage Strengths: Identify and leverage each member's unique strengths and resources. Maximising these strengths enhances overall effectiveness. 📊 Consensus Building: Prioritise consensus building and inclusive decision-making. Encourage open dialogue and compromise to ensure all voices are heard and respected. 📍 Strategic Planning: Develop a strategic plan outlining collective health policy objectives and action steps. A well-defined plan provides clarity and direction. 〰️ Flexible Adaptation: Remain flexible and adaptable to changing circumstances, opportunities and policy priorities. Agility is essential for navigating complex health policy landscapes. 💬 Engage Stakeholders: Engage relevant stakeholders, including healthcare professionals, policymakers, payers, regulators, industry and, most importantly patients and caregivers. Their insights enrich the coalition's advocacy efforts. 🎉 Celebrate Successes: Celebrate achievements and milestones to foster camaraderie and motivation. Recognising progress reinforces commitment and sustains momentum. Remember, in health policy advocacy, unity is strength. By joining forces with others who share your vision, you're not just amplifying your voice – you're creating a powerful force for change.
