Vote for the HealthEd SXSW Panel!

We are excited for the opportunity to present at the first-ever Health Track at SXSW^® Interactive 2011 conference. Now we need your help. Please vote for our proposed panel, The Customer Experience System & How Patients Learn. Just visit the SXSW PanelPicker, leave a comment, and vote "thumbs up."

What’s a customer experience system? It's an evolutionary approach to online healthcare “marketing” with the goal of creating patient experiences that enhance learning and promote self-efficacy—the ability to manage one’s own care.

HealthEd is particularly interested in customer experience systems because we are building our own system through our subsidiary, HealthEd On Demand. Yet our interest is much broader, as our teams seek to understand how educational approaches can drive better patient outcomes.

SXSW Interactive is the nation’s leading digital and innovation festival, held annually in Austin, Texas. It would be an honor to present, and we appreciate your vote. The SXSW PanelPicker closes August 27!
