Shared Decision Making Summit
Patient Focus and Involvement
At the heart of Shared Decision Making is a desire to help patients make the best treatment decision possible. Hence, we want patients involved in the Summit. There are two options for patients and patient advocates to weigh in:
Attend Medicine X
- MedX is the world's leading patient-centered health tech conference, helping people create a shared vision of collaborative and participatory medicine of tomorrow
- At MedX in 2015, 700+ delegates from 60+ countries helped create 200,000,000 social media impressions
- Join the Shared Decision Making workshop on 15 Sep, which gives participants a taste of SDM and asks for their input on the Summit topics
- Two weeks later, ideas and feedback from the MedX workshop will be shared and discussed at the Summit
|
Attend the Summit
- Summit topics are more of a starting point for disucssion, than prescribed presentations, so there is an opportunity to directly influence where the discussion goes
- Commensurate with the Summit theme, many attendees will be pharma leaders, complemented by other healthcare stakeholder groups (physicians, hospitals, payers, patients, etc)
- To better enable Summit attendance, the Patients Involved Grant Program was created - see below for details
|
Patients Involved Grant Program
The program operates as follows:
- Each attendee from an industry organization may submit 2 names of patients or patient advocates into a pool
- SDP will determine how many grants are available and provide funds to SMDM
- SMDM will select up to 5 names from the pool and coordinate the grant benefits
Grant benefits include:
- Summit registration fee waiver
- Complimentary lodging and meals
- Travel reimbursement
Grant Program Nominations
If you are an industry representative and will be attending the Summit, you may nominate 2 patients / patient advocates to receive a grant. To edit a previous nomination, simply resubmit. You may submit as many times as you like; only your last submission will be used.
