2023 Signature Series Summit: Navigating a Complex System

Navigating a Complex System: How Policymakers can Harness Patient Journey Mapping to Improve Health Care Experiences and Outcomes

The COVID-19 pandemic provided a sobering point of reflection that exposed key limitations in our health care system - but also great resilience. The pandemic elevated both opportunities and challenges, many of which have festered for decades. The rise in awareness and dialogue on key public health issues such as health equity, the staggering strain on the health care workforce and resources, and the need for continual, timely innovation to deliver new therapies, vaccines, and cures, all merit thoughtful discussion in the aftermath of this system-wide trauma.
The 2023 Signature Series will consider the person first, in terms of outcomes, innovation, and experience. As policymakers, industry, providers, and advocates seek to future-proof our health system against the next challenge, we’ll consider how various elements of the health care system impact the person’s experience. How do the strains and demands on our health care workforce impact personal experience? How does a focus on value-based payment arrangements impact personal outcomes? How do the incentives in our system affect medical and delivery system innovation and what do those incentives mean for people? As we come together to explore these and myriad other questions, we will keep the patient at the center.
2023 Series Programs
The Series is composed of key elements designed to listen, engage, and educate. As the year progresses, the program elements build upon each other, taking knowledge gained from the previous activity to inform the next. Programs incorporate diverse viewpoints and perspectives, ensuring each topic is holistically approached. The work culminates in a written report that summarizes lessons learned and actionable next steps for consideration by policymakers, stakeholders, and the health policy community.
