If you have to take a daily pill to reduce your risk of heart disease, wouldn't it be easier get your meds at the pharmacy 4 days/yr instead of 12? We made a simple tweak in the default order that made things easier for patients and reduced disparities 🧵 https://t.co/NVeACz6rtn

Michelle Tropper & Rina Ramirez shared how patient-centered messaging with lab results improved engagement. Messages explained how statins could help patients with their high LDL, were professionally translated into Spanish, and securely transmitted.

Hadassah Raskas described A/B testing for text message reminders for BRCA1/2 screening. The team found a particular framing – 'you are in control of your health and future' – had spillover effects in making appts with other health specialists.

The InterSystems team built an AI/machine learning model to predict which patients will show up to an appointment. Depending on probabilities, they kept the appointment, offered rescheduling or overbooked. This resulted in many more visits with less effort.

How can culture in health care change to take advantage of tech innovations, Tom asked. We have to allocate people, said Roy, and be good at portfolio & horizon management. For scaling, "We have to be better at faster decisions and think different about financial analyses."

Roy shared several of his favorite @PennMedicine innovation projects - Heart Safe Motherhood, CARe, and SOAR - and the importance of trust and information-seeking when things don't go right with an initiative.

Behind the creation of great things is a requirement for optimism, says @rrosin. "Early on in my career, I just fell in love with this idea of finding more ways to say yes."
