Silverlink and Esteemed Colleagues Discuss How Personalized Communications Can Significantly Improve Health Engagement
WASHINGTON--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- Silverlink Communications® Inc., the leader in healthcare consumer communications, is scheduled to present at four sessions this week at the Forum 10, one of the healthcare industry’s most influential conferences in wellness, prevention and chronic care management. The Forum 10 takes place October 13th through 15th in Washington, D.C. Silverlink will co-present with leading innovators in healthcare to address how to effectively engage healthcare consumers to measurably improve health outcomes and lower healthcare costs.
The sessions will specifically cover how personalized communications can increase preventive screening rates, improve adherence to medication, address diabetes gaps in care, and leverage incentives to meaningfully drive behaviors.
“Communications is the foundation of good health,” said Dr. Jan Berger, Chief Medical Officer at Silverlink. “Effective conversations about our health have to be as natural as putting on a seatbelt. In order for our country to address our healthcare challenges, we have to find successful ways to engage all the stakeholders in the healthcare equation.”
“Consumer behaviors drive the majority of U.S. healthcare costs and consumer engagement is critical to reducing those costs,” added Stan Nowak, CEO at Silverlink. “Technology-enabled population health programs drive patient engagement, motivate behavior change, and generate new knowledge. We’re honored to be working with some of the most innovative minds in healthcare and sharing the outcomes of our work together.”
