AMCP Engagement Framework For Payers And Patient Organizations

In recent years, there has been growing consensus that the health care community should become more patient-centered by incorporating patient needs, preferences, and values into decision-making. To spread awareness around this need, AMCP started the patient voice initiative in 2023 to enhance patient engagement by healthcare decision-makers (HCDMs). The first phase of this initiative, which began in 2023, involved the establishment of the Patient Voice Advisory Group, a coalition of individuals from various healthcare sectors. This group’s significant work led to developing the Engagement Framework for Payers and Patient Organizations. The Framework provides tools, scenarios, and instructions to foster collaboration between payers and patient organizations. Additionally, the framework aims to improve patient outcomes and reduce the overall cost of care, a crucial step towards a more patient-centered healthcare system.
