PAST EVENTS IN THE SERIES
The 1-Click Patient Experience: How Experience Design is Improving Outcomes
Long ago, banks realized that adding a second teller reduced wait times by a whopping 95%, and this dramatically improved customer satisfaction and retention. There is a long explanation to why that is but, most importantly, it shows that improving the user experience can have unexpectedly large impacts. Amazon has become famous for their 1-click technology that has made ordering just about anything almost frictionless.
Bold healthcare innovators are bringing these experiences to healthcare and, as a result, are creating competitive edges for their companies, leading to more satisfied patients and customers.
In this Bringing The Future Forward session, we will discuss how organizations are making these changes and what remains to be done.

[SOLD OUT] Helping Close the Health Inequity Gap Through More Inclusive Clinical Trials
Addressing and eliminating health disparities is a priority for healthcare organizations in Medical Alley –and throughout the nation – and it has gained increased attention during the COVID-19 pandemic and following the murder of George Floyd.
This effort requires a multi-faceted approach from every sector of healthcare, but one that can help make significant strides long-term is increasing diversity within clinical trials. Medical Alley organizations have long been leaders on this effort, and recent events have only furthered their commitment to reaching this goal.
In this Bringing The Future Forward session, hear from Medical Alley organizations on how they are increasing and improving outreach to generate more participation from underrepresented populations, what strategies they are using to partner with other organizations to build more representative clinical trials, and how they are working to advance inclusive research overall.

COVID-19 and Specialty Pharmacy: Impacts and Responses to High-Risk Patient Populations
While much has been made of the pandemic’s impact on care delivery – telemedicine, remote monitoring, and deferral of needed care – as important, though less discussed, is the pandemic’s impact on pharmacy, especially specialty pharmacy. The complexity of specialty pharmacy with multiple stakeholders, complex supply chains, and evolving payment and business models has required radical rethinking due to the pandemic.
In this Bringing the Future Forward session from the Medical Alley Association, hear from specialty pharmacy stakeholders on how they have adapted to the effects of COVID-19 for high-risk patient populations and are preparing for a post-pandemic world of care delivery.

The Patient Will See You Now: Moving From Patient to Consumer Centricity
The house call was once common – the doctor would visit the patient, evaluate their condition, and prescribe treatment. Today, a doctor’s visit – or, rather, an office visit – requires traveling to a specific location. An entire industry has developed to bring convenience and cost savings to consumers of healthcare by delivering care anywhere. But, many regulatory, workflow, and behavioral issues stand in the way of delivering healthcare fully in the way consumers seek.
In this Bringing The Future Forward session, we explored those barriers, the promise of care anywhere, and its limits. Additional discussion will look at how these emerging technologies and practices are changing the business model of health systems that have spent years optimizing for in-person care delivery.
