Workshop: Innovate4OutcomesTM
Bringing the healthcare industry together to “hack” systemic challenges in patient access and support
Virtual workshop
December 9 2021, 1:00-4:30pm ET
Achieving higher standards of care and equal access to treatment remains a huge problem for patients in the US. Patient advocacy groups, like RESOLVE: The National Infertility Association are critical resources, but still face several barriers when it comes to providing the right support at the right time. Pharma executives, healthcare providers and advocacy leaders can work together to find tangible and actionable solutions, driving true patient-centricity across US healthcare.  

OptimizeRx and Reuters Events are hosting a design-thinking event to get the dialogue going. We are bringing together pharma, HCP representatives, and patient advocacy groups to collectively “hack” the top access and support-related challenges faced by advocacy groups today to create better outcomes for their patient populations. 

This 3.5-hour workshop, inspired by technology ‘hackathons,’ brings together 6 groups of 10-15 pharma, healthcare professionals, and patients to surface innovative solutions to pervasive systemic challenges using the perspectives of patient advocacy groups to focus their discussion. Teams will pitch their solutions to a panel of judges (including leaders of the patient advocacy groups). The winning team will be publicly announced, and their idea may be implemented by the patient advocacy groups.

Patient advocacy groups will be bringing their challenges to the table:

  1. RESOLVE: The National Infertility Association, established in 1974, is dedicated to ensuring that all people challenged in their family building journey reach resolution through being empowered by knowledge, supported by community, united by advocacy, and inspired to act.

RESOLVE exists to provide:

  • Access to Care
  • Advocacy for Coverage
  • Access to Support & Community
  • Access to Education
  • Awareness of All Family Building Options
2. I AM ALS is a patient-centric movement revolutionizing how to end disease. The nonprofit provides critical support and resources to people with ALS, caregivers and loved ones. We empower advocates to raise awareness and lead the movement against ALS in driving the development of cures. Founded in 2019 by husband and wife team Brian Wallach and Sandra Abrevaya, I AM ALS was born out of their desire to rewrite the ALS story for Brian and the tens of thousands of other people with ALS.
