Miksch and Blackburn’s session, “Population Health Management Defined,” will share first-hand details about the Mayo Clinic’s population health management initiatives including lessons learned, considerations and key recommendations. Attendees will walk away with strategies to identify and align the right mix of resources and program components to deliver significant value to their patients and organizations.

In another HIMSS session, Kimberly Radel, Director of the Care Copilot Institute at Allina Health, and Kathy Krypel, a Master Advisor with Aspen Advisors, bring the patient experience and patient engagement to center stage with their presentation “Patient Experience: Touching the Heart of Medicine” on April 14 from 1:00-2:00 pm. The session will highlight three innovative patient engagement initiatives implemented by Allina Health, giving participants actionable strategies from both a clinical and technological perspective.

Attendees will learn how patient experience and patient engagement are being honored and implemented at healthcare systems showcasing patient engagement initiatives at Allina Health.
