💯Total execution fail. And to beat @thegr8chalupa.bsky.social's drum, it could have been mitigated if we designed with patients, caregivers, consumers, tech, and providers all in the same room. As far as execution fails go, this one is pretty epic and seemingly avoidable. 😬 #HITsm #VivEvent25

And in many communities across Chicago, the rushed business strategy to deliver primary care. Patients and caregivers showed up. But when margins weren't there, neither were the stories. Leaves thousands who rely on those clinics to find it elsewhere or forego it altogether. #HITsm #ViVeEvent25

Self and preventive care is it, Jane! Absolutely. And building ecosystems that integrate data that health consumers can understand/feel empowered by and apply in care environments they feel comfortable is in and of itself a form of empowerment/interoperability, too! #HITsm #VivEvent25

The retail health "experiment" coming back to bite us is a prime example of how we didn't do our homework when thinking about broadly assuming patients and caregivers needed/wanted/found value in these experiences before going all in. Tech comes with its own host of examples, too. #HITsm #ViVEvent25

Yes! In what other industry is it this "acceptable" to create so much friction for people who are at their most vulnerable. The marketer/UX brain is so overwhelmed how simple, yet impactful, the little things. Empathy shouldn't be an innovation. But sadly, it's a "differentiator" #HITsm #ViVEvent25

T3 Riffing further on Rasu's, Mike G's, and David H's pointing to patients, prior auth, & channeling Grace C's daily life, it would be so good to have an honest discussion panel about the post-Brian Thompson UHC era where patient rage is mainstream. #VIVEEvent would be brave to host that. #HITsm

+2 to more patient voices. Patients taking ownership over their health journey is still critical - there's so much opportunity for those people still waiting for better tech to help them. #HITsm
I suppose it's borderline wishful thinking, but I'm also looking forward to seeing patient and caregiver voices take (more of a) center stage at #ViVE25 in terms of influence on market trends. Even better would be tangible steps towards including those voices in business strategy. #HITsm
