@HealthcareAdvocateSummit is right around the corner! Join us on Thursday, September 10, at 2:00 p.m. on the Mainstage for an insightful panel discussion, “Technology & Tools: Implementing Your Feedback to Reduce Friction in Charitable Patient Support.”
Charitable patient assistance programs (CPAPs) work closely with providers and pharmacies to ensure that patients are eligible for and enrolled in assistance programs that meet their needs. Streamlining the enrollment process to reduce friction, and approval delays that ultimately result in delays in patients receiving their medications is vital to patient health outcomes. Providing patients, providers, pharmacies, and advocates with state-of-the-art tools and services to seamlessly enroll in and manage every aspect of the patient journey minimizes access barriers for patients and their care teams.
Featuring panelists from @Patient.Advocate.Foundation, @AccessiaHealth, @CancerCareUS, @zPaperteam, Inc, and Healthcare Stakeholder Solutions, LLC

@HealthcareAdvocateSummit is right around the corner! Join us on Thursday, September 10, at 9:30 a.m. on the Mainstage for an insightful panel discussion, “Multidisciplinary Navigation Across the Patient Journey: Identifying Gaps in Total Patient Care.”
Collaboration across care teams has become more critical, and the need to help patients navigate a complex and ever-changing health care landscape is more dire than ever before. From prevention and screening to diagnosis, treatment, and survivorship, patients and caregivers need a care plan that bridges all aspects of their health care and daily necessities. Patient navigation should take a comprehensive approach, addressing financial hardship, insurance benefits, mental health support, community resources, food insecurity, and geographic barriers to care. Providing patients access to resources and information empowers them to navigate their health care journey more effectively and has proven to have a positive impact on health outcomes.
Featuring panelists from @Patient.Advocate.Foundation, Healthcare Stakeholder Solutions, LLC, and Health Options LLC.
