For the first time, MedCity News and HLTH have teamed up to present MedCity’s annual patient engagement event ENGAGE at the second annual HLTH conference on Sunday, October 28 at the MGM Grand in Las Vegas. ENGAGE at HLTH will explore how technology, providers and payers impact the patient experience and most importantly, the patient’s perspective of healthcare. Thousands of the healthcare industry’s most forward-thinking executives will gather for the HLTH conference October 27-30.

Here is an overview of the agenda for ENGAGE at HLTH to whet your appetite for patient-centered content.

What happens if we fail to change? To fix what’s broken in U.S. healthcare, we first need to understand the systemic failings and the psychological barriers that undermine American healthcare. Hear a proposed solution for the future built on the pillars of integration, capitation, technology and physician leadership.

Prioritizing the patient experience How do we design our operations around keeping our patients’ needs priority number one? What challenges hinder our efforts? An expert panel of chief patient experience officers from leading hospitals discuss their learnings and ongoing initiatives.

When the CIO becomes the patient What happens when the chief information officer of a major health system has a close encounter with those very IT systems as a patient? Hear from the CIO who became a cancer patient and saw the true struggle in utilizing EHRs and other clinical tools. Learn from his newfound mission to make tech work for providers and patients.

How do we fix healthcare? We listen to patients. Our health system is riddled with challenges at every corner, but no single group feels the impact more acutely than patients. Hear a panel of empowered patients and enlightened companies discuss their unique health journeys and how they would like to overhaul our broken system.

Can AI chatbots help improve the patient experience? Artificial Intelligence, while questionably overhyped, is being leveraged in various aspects of health, from medical imaging to drug development to gleaning data insights and patient matching for clinical trials. Learn how AI is being utilized to engage with patients and better guide them along their health journey.

From paralysis to empowerment When a little girl became paralyzed, she and her dad jumped into action to find a solution. They set out to build a robotic exoskeleton arm brace that would attempt to pick up signals from her damaged motor neurons and use them as a control signal for the exoskeleton. Their odyssey is a testament, not only to the kindness of strangers and the indomitable will of a little girl, but also to the fact that patients can create their own personalized solutions.

In addition to patient engagement, some other areas of interest that will be highlighted at HLTH include behavioral health, chronic conditions, voice technology in healthcare and precision medicine.
