HealthCampRDU is being planned around the concept of Innovating the Care Culture.

What does a Care Culture mean to you? Let us know your thoughts.

We are looking for participants to lead discussion sessions that focus on Care Culture themes that they are passionate about.

If you had 4 minutes and 4 slides what would you have to say?

Slide 1: What is the problem you are addressing?
Slide 2: What have you done to improve this situation?
Slide 3: What are your roadblocks/what don’t you know?
Slide 4: Who are you and what drew you to tackle this challenge?

Key Themes:
– Preventive Self Care / Educated Aging
– The Patient Experience / Care Transitions
– The Psychology of Engagement in Wellness
– The connected care team (who is in your team?)

Capstrat has once again stepped up to take part in HealthCampRDU. We welcome  Capstrat as a partner for <a href=”http://healthca.mp/rdu”>HealthCampRDU</a> on Friday April 13th, 2012 at the Marbles Kid Museum.

Capstrat is freakishly good at figuring out two things:

1. Exactly what needs to be said.
2. The perfect way to say it.

We are excited to see their expertise being applied to Innovating the Culture of Care, now and in the future.

Why not join Capstrat at HealthCampRDU. Getting involved as a sponsor, or participant is as easy as purchasing a ticket.

We are pleased to announce that BlueCross BlueShield of North Carolina has joined forces with HealthCamp Foundation to present HealthCampRDU on Friday April 13th.

Innovating the Care Culture:
Today, Tomorrow and into the Future

Our calling is simple.

To bring together a passionate community of innovators, consumers, experts, educators, entrepreneurs, business leaders, professionals, providers, researchers, technology  to collaborate beyond the traditional health care borders and help put ideas and individual commitment into valuable [life-changing] action.

• What innovations are moving the needle on today’s care culture?
• How are we achieving it differently to impact the care culture in the future?
• What role is preventative care and nutrition, social gaming and social media playing?

A conference like none–other. Come experience the power of open-source collaboration. Give your ideas life and your action momentum. Be the difference that keeps the faces of consumers and patients at the heart of innovation to achieve better healthcare outcomes.
