Significant change is underway within the U.S. healthcare system at a scale we have not seen in recent years, with new policies causing intended and unintended consequences for those with rare diseases, impacting the development of and access to innovative medicines. Amid this change, it’s crucial that we strike a balance between encouraging future innovation and ensuring that patient care is not disrupted. Patient advocates, alongside industry, are playing a critical role in maintaining this balance. Join our expert for our panelists at the #PatientAdvocacySummit on Nov 9 as they provide diverse perspectives on healthcare policies and their impacts on patients.

🌟 Introducing: Spencer Gibson 🌟 Patients Count: Development of a patient registry for Canada A roundtable discussion Lymphedema patients are often left behind in the healthcare system. There are few dedicated clinics for lymphedema and many patients use private healthcare to seek treatments. There is a need to establish a lymphedema registry in Canada where we can track patients in the healthcare system. This will identify research questions that need to be addressed and ultimately get better care for lymphedema patients. Pre-registration is required for this session.

Today we're publishing our Enterprise Manifesto. Our why. I believe we have a once-in-a-generation opportunity to improve our healthcare system with a new paradigm for chronic disease treatment, starting with obesity and catalyzed by GLP-1s. At Calibrate, our Enterprise model increases access to cost-effective care that works by aligning incentives for all stakeholders: the patient, the provider, the payor, and even the manufacturer. There is no doubt in my mind that Enterprise is the future for this category.

Elevate healthcare with a focus on patient outcomes. Patient-Reported Outcome Measures (PROMs) in Value-Based Healthcare (VBHC) provide crucial insights into disease impact. By collecting direct patient feedback, PROMs enhance therapy, improve outcomes, and drive system performance. Embrace collaboration for personalized, value-driven care. Read the whole article about PROMs as key components to improve the healthcare system: https://lnkd.in/eAwXJa9b #HealthcareInnovation #PatientOutcomes #VBHC #proms #patientreportedoutcomes

The Point of Care Testing Association (POCTA) seeks to facilitate access to safe, effective, and cost-effective patient testing at the time of treatment. Our members work to develop reimbursement policies that can improve health outcomes by supporting access to POC testing, which enables physicians to monitor chronic conditions, diagnose illnesses, and provide timely information to patients in a variety of care settings.

Increasing awareness of Normal Pressure Hydrocephalus among healthcare providers is not just beneficial—it is imperative. Given the potential to significantly improve patient outcomes through early diagnosis and treatment, a concerted effort must be made to educate and train healthcare practitioners about this often-overlooked condition. Doing so will not only enhance the quality of life for many patients but also reduce the burden on healthcare systems by providing timely and effective interventions. https://lnkd.in/dVNqxwN7

Screening and Testing are crucial to a patient’s well-being and overall sense of confidence in their care.
