Patients Partnering with Health and Education Systems to Drive Positive Change
Since 2016, the Nexus Summit has been co-created with patients, family and community members. In 2023, our Patient Responders shared the personal experiences that drive their passion for change that positively impacts patient care and outcomes. In 2024, we continue to work together with our Patient Advisors and Patient Responders to advance the patient engagement conversation with concrete strategies and positive examples of patients and family members actively partnering with health and education systems in governance, policy and workflow decisions that shape their healthcare experiences.
The United States healthcare system does not always achieve the goal of effectively serving the patient, family, community, or the provider and their team in the delivery of care. But systems change is possible if we create meaningful partnerships and focus on Quadruple Aim outcomes that drive health equity. During this plenary, a panel of academic health system leaders, clinician educators, and patient advocates will have a conversation about practical steps to engage patients, families and communities meaningfully at the Nexus of practice and education to drive positive change. This panel will challenge each of us to consider how to take practical steps toward deepening meaningful patient and community engagement in our interprofessional work.
At the conclusion of this plenary, participants will be able to:
- Recognize authentic patient/ provider or patient/ system partnerships that impact health system outcomes.
- Identify one opportunity to support impactful patient engagement in their local practice or education setting
- Describe how to support practice leaders and patients to engage in meaningful partnerships that drive health and/or learning outcomes that matter.
