Sample Topics

Jared speaks about how to implement digital healthcare and marketing, from growth hacking to patient engagement. Here are three examples.

1. Marketing Forward

Pivoting our skill sets is critical for healthcare marketers and strategists to stay effective moving forward.

To succeed today, healthcare marketers must extend their competencies to areas beyond their training, areas that have not been thought of as part of their expertise—like quality metrics, patient engagement and electronic health records. Success now requires a desire to innovate, play Moneyball and break down organizational silos.

Jared takes the audience on an autobiographical tour of his own career development in which he talks about why transformation to versatility is the future of healthcare marketing, as well as how to change from marketing to engagement by ushering in digital conversations that go beyond a tack-on strategy.

2. How to help clinicians adopt digital health

Everyone wants clinicians to adopt digital health, but how?

Healthcare professionals are facing so many new challenges in today’s landscape of shifting business models, regulations and patient experience initiatives, it can be easy to ignore the innovation that is happening in digital health.

Jared shares highlights from conversations with 20 healthcare technology thought leaders with firsthand experience partnering with patients and using digital health tools. Each conversation is with a well-respected peer in the health IT community – physicians and advocates who empathize, understand the challenges and have experienced their own successes.

3. MarTech 101: Health IT and marketing merging tribes

Stop trying to solve the same challenges from different silos.

Historically health IT and marketing have remained as two separate tribes. But digital disruption and patient engagement have necessitated that they come together. In fact, the degree to which marketing and IT collaborate is one of the greatest indicators of how well healthcare organizations will succeed in this new age.

Jared explores how to develop a shared culture of innovation that harnesses strengths from both sides of the house using case studies from early adopter health systems. Learn how to develop new solutions to solve challenges such as transparency, patient access, patient satisfaction and digital patient experience.

Consumers have more choices than ever for their care, but there are still large gaps in patient engagement. At least 68% of patients do not know the name of the physician in charge of their care. At least 43% of patients do not know the reason for their hospital admission. In this interactive session, Jared discussed three significant emerging trends in patient engagement: (1) the advancement of consumerism, (2) the impact of regulations on value-based care, and (3) new care models and partners entering the space.
