Real World Outcomes....for real!! Check out Katie's overview of a recent successful Medscape curriculum that demonstrates statistical significance in increasing the rate of diagnosis for Alzheimer's disease among our learners.

As a CME supporter, if you're looking to measure the true impact your grants have on practice behavior, Medscape's Outcomes Team, led by Katie S L., has the answer. Her Alliance Industry Summit presentation supports the role greater self-efficacy plays in increasing diagnoses and thus patient outcomes. Check out this video to learn how we make this happen!

  Today, on #WorldStrokeDay – and every day – together with the World Stroke Organization, World Health Organization and other stroke coalition partners like Medtronic Neurovascular, we work to raise awareness of stroke and bring real change to stroke patients’ lives. The time to act is now. Anyone can have a stroke, at any time, and anywhere. Timely access to care, early detection, the right diagnosis and effective treatment all play a big part in how well a stroke patient recovers. Let’s all advocate for better care for more people. That is why Philips’ Chief Innovation and Strategy Officer, Shez Partovi, and I are raising the flag at our global sites for #WorldStrokeDay. I invite you to read my recent conversation with Sheila Cristina Ouriques Martins, president of the World Stroke Organization, about prioritizing stroke care globally: https://lnkd.in/dfmMxbQH

Payers should be prepared for the wave of patients coming and open up resources to keep them aging in place with a caregiver at home. This is where I’d like to see more innovation and learning. The Alzheimers initiative for payers is a great use case for machine learning and prediction using data made accessible via Patent Access API for operational use cases to inform future management of the Alzheimers wave predicted to spike in 2025 (reported by CNN nearly 5 years ago). The time has come, payers and providers should be prepared and properly reimbursed for serving these vulnerable populations. These patents are excluded from Quality measurement, but the financial burden of not following this population will be huge if organizations don’t get ahead of it now.
