Presentation: The Powerful Voice of Advocacy and Communications in Specialty Pharma
In specialty pharma, connecting patients with needed care -- and with each other -- can be a special challenge. About 50 percent of rare diseases are so small that they do not have a dedicated organization to provide patient support, conduct research, or advocate for increased research funding. This session will review recent trends in how advocacy and communications play a critical role globally in the advance of innovative treatments - especially for the world's smallest patient populations - to impact patient care and outcomes.

Health Insurance Information Needs: How Librarians Can Helpevardell
Today many adults have difficulty knowing how to find a physician, fill a prescription, use and pay for medications, and use health information to make informed decisions about their health. Libraries are prominent places in communities making libraries and librarians excellent resources for advancing health information literacy. For example, librarians can address the unmet information needs that leave many unable to make appropriate health insurance choices. For those with lower levels of health insurance literacy, the ability to procure appropriate levels of health insurance coverage may be limited, which can have dire effects on individuals’ health statuses. Addressing this critical information need, Emily Vardell, Ph.D., will present Health Insurance Information Needs: How Librarians Can Help. All MPLA/KLA conference attendees are invited.
This slideshow presents best practices, lessons learned, and policy recommendations around covering Georgia's uninsured. It is based on a review of the open enrollment period for the Health Insurance Marketplace that ran from fall 2014 to winter 2015 and includes findings from interviews with enrollment assisters and other community partners.
Keeping patients closely connected to their caregivers is critical to achieving positive health outcomes. But busy schedules, long distances and understaffed departments can sometimes mean long hours alone for homebound patients, even when supported by the best caregivers. Here are some of the benefits of using mobile solutions for home healthcare.
Evolution of practice in an age of informationJerry Fahrni
Contrary to popular beliefs, pharmacy practice has undergone significant change over the past decade. Pharmacists have been empowered to engage patients like never before through the advent of new automation as well as innovative mobile technologies. The medication distribution process has been
streamlined allowing pharmacists more time to engage in cognitive services and patient care. Innovative mobile technologies have given rise to a new generation of well-connected patients that are interested in their own care like
never before. This has resulted in an unprecedented amount of information available to healthcare professionals from which a host of services may be provided.
This presentation outlines key changes to pharmacy practice,
along with examples of new automation and mobile technologies that illustrate these developments and implications for the future of pharmacy practice.

Public Health professionals communicate with a variety of audiences in their daily work. While reasonably well-accepted that special consideration be given to low-literate health care consumers in clinical settings, less emphasis has been given to applying health literacy in diverse sectors of public health. Poor health literacy is not limited to those with language or reading skill barriers - only 12% of Americans understand the health information they receive.
As public health professionals we have a responsibility to understand the health literacy barriers. This presentation will provide tips and resources where public health professionals can make a difference in increasing the success of their communication efforts.
While one flu season can pass mildly and with minimal activity, another may hit the country early and hard. CDC health communicators work with subject matter experts and stakeholders to develop messages for a variety of audiences, employing different types of media for effective reach. Due to unforeseen variables, the 2012-2013 flu season posed specific challenges. This presentation will highlight some of those challenges, showcase strategies and messaging used, and preview what’s to come for the 2013-2014 season.
This webinar was the second session in the CALPACT sponsored Health Communication Matters series, which will help participants in all walks of public health to apply health literacy principles to their everyday communications.

Rock Report: Personalization in Consumer Health by @Rock_HealthRock Health
Overview of personalization in healthcare, including opportunities, barriers and case studies related to a market estimated to reach $450B+ by 2015. Purchase the report here: https://gumroad.com/l/XxcA
End-of-life decision making is a delicate and often avoided undertaking. “Thinking Ahead: Conversations across California” is a project to learn from seniors and providers what worries them about end-of-life planning and decision making. One focus group participant said “I want to have a voice in deciding what the last few weeks of my life will be like. And, I want my wishes to be honored.” Read the short report to learn what is important to seniors.
Low Functional health literacy is a problem affecting 90 million residents of the United States. Among the 90 million, 36% are adults who have “below basic” health literacy skills. Assessing health literacy is important in improving health behaviors, health outcomes, and perceived communication barriers related to health. The Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act enacted in 2010 brought about changes that demand a more coordinated approach to manage health care services. This research focused on the efforts being made to promote health literacy at Medicaid health homes such as Greater Buffalo United Accountable Healthcare Network (GBUAHN). This research consisted of observation of Patient Health Navigator interactions with patients in order to identify best practices of health literacy initiatives within GBUAHN. Results suggest best practices include promoting and establishing relationship to effectively enhance patients understanding of all their healthcare needs. This study suggests that GBUAHN should continue making use of recommendations related health literacy promotion while exploring areas of improvement as noted on scorecard. Patient Health Navigators are engaging patient in manner that will establish adherence within patients.

Embracing GenAI - A Strategic ImperativePeter Windle
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.
