PANEL

Barriers to Proactively Managing Patient Health

We're assembling an online advisory panel of healthcare professionals to explore the roadblocks patients face in taking proactive measures to managing their assigned treatment plan. We'll address the barriers and how to best address and overcome them using the collective experiences and opinions of the healthcare professionals that will comprise this panel.

We are seeking the following healthcare professionals to apply for this panel: family physicians, general practitioners, registered nurses, physician assistants, endocrinologists, and cardiologists.

Some of the barriers we'll explore in this panel include, but are not limited to:

1. Setting out goals and expectations with treatment plans
2. Establishing trust with your provider
3. Patient education
4. Age gap barrier
5. Communication issues

By participating, you'll have exclusive access to the discussions taking place, engage with forward-thinking healthcare professional peers, and gain recognition for your thought-leadership. For your active engagement, you will also earn a merit-based compensation.

If you know of anyone else who may qualify for this panel, please forward this opportunity to them.

This engagement is expected to begin in late June.

Applicants
Sam Grief

I am a Family Physician for 27 years and have a breadth of experience in managing and counseling a wide area of patients from various demographics. I have worked in rural, suburban and urban settings and can provide perspectives from these different milieus.
Eric Rose
Dr.
I am a family physician and this topic is one that has always been a passion for me. I see the role of the physician as, in many ways, that of a coach: Identifying obstacles to the patient taking control of their own health, and helping them find ways to overcome those obstacles. My own belief is that it all starts with an understanding of the patient's goals. All too often no one asks the patient what they want out of their treatment: Is living longer the most important thing, or is it reducing pain, or improving function? In my experience starting with a patient-centered discussion of goals is the key to engagement. I'm also interested in technology and its potential use for communicating complex information about the pros/cons of different treatment plans and, once a plan is decided on, how to stick to it. For those reasons, I think this would be a fascinating panel to engage in, hear the views of all the participants, and share my own.

FAQ
  • add remove What is Currnt?
    Currnt is a “Knowledge Networking” platform where companies and professionals come to stay relevant on the latest advances in their industries in the face of the increasing pace of change. Companies sponsor panels to learn about where markets are headed or how to leverage new capabilities. Professionals join to demonstrate and develop their passions with equal caliber peers in expert-only facilitated online engagements. On Currnt, we take our passions seriously and ourselves lightly. See our Community Guidelines, to learn more of the rules of the road, here are some highlights

    • Be yourself. The authenticity of Currnt begins with the passion of people.
    • Be respectful. This applies to every person, at all times.
    • Be inclusive. Tolerate, welcome, and consider diverse people and perspectives.
    • Build empathy and understanding. Engage in debates that are in good faith.
    • Foster meaningful and genuine connections. This is what Currnt is all about.
    • Do not plagiarize or fail to cite other’s ideas.
    • Don’t game the points by trying to coordinate intentional recognition.
  • add remove How do Panels work?
    The panel is like a facilitated forum of hand selected experts on a topic sponsored by a company that wants to learn fast. Panels are organized in chapters called Themes that focus on one subtopic at a time. In some panels Themes are only 24 hours in duration, in others they are a week long, and in some they are two weeks long. When one Theme closes, a new one begins. You come in when you feel like it, but try to come in twice per Theme. You earn points from your peers and the facilitator when they react to your ideas. Likewise, others earn points when you interact on their posts. The more we discuss and debate, the better the insights, the more points earned by all.

  • add remove Why should I apply? Do I get paid?
    Professionals join Currnt because they want to remain relevant on subjects they’re passionate about and subjects that are shaping the future of their industry. They also:

    • Engage and connect with equal caliber peers in their industry
    • Learn and enhance their knowledge
    • Get recognized and rewarded for providing their inputs and thought-leadership
    • When specified above in the project description, you can earn honorarium payments and/or recognition points redeemable for cash. Learn more here.
  • add remove Are there specific times I need to participate?
    There are no set times for calls or meetings. Participation is 100% online on the Currnt platform and engagement between the all expert panelists is asynchronous in written form. Just come in twice per Theme, at your convenience.

  • add remove How do KnowledgeStreams and DesignSprints work?
    Streams are ongoing online engagements for exploration or working iteratively with a panel, and Sprints are on-demand engagement to get to actionable insights quickly. Both are facilitated and are always-on for participants to engage at-convenience. The conversations are segmented into Themes which are subtopics which are like chapters in a book. In a 4 Day Sprint, Themes are 24 hours, whereas a Theme in a Stream is every two week. Throughout the discussion, the facilitator highlights and categorizes the “key takeaways” to be voted and distilled into a summary report. It’s also common that other pieces of content (whitepapers, blogs, podcasts) are also prepared from the distilled insights.

  • add remove I’ve applied. Now what?
    Your application will be internally reviewed in the following 24-48hrs and screened for any conflict of interest, and general fit. Next your application will be shortlisted for the sponsor to accept, bookmark or reject. You will receive a notification each step of the way, but expect this may take a couple of days, or even weeks if the panel is new. Nevertheless, in addition to the notifications, you can always go back to the Apply page to view the status of your application.

  • add remove I’ve been selected. What am I expected to do when selected?
    Once you receive your Welcome Email, please RSVP by clicking the link in the notification. You can also gain access to the panel through your ‘My Currnt’ at the top of the page. Finally, once you have RSVP’d by logging into the panel, there is often a Welcome Tab where you can introduce yourself to the other panelists. If it’s a new panel, the first Theme will launch in a few days, if it’s an ongoing panel just jump right in by reacting to the question or to what the other panelists had to say.

  • add remove If I have other questions or issues, what should I do?
    Please contact support to answer any other questions or troubleshoot any issues via email or chat.
