We (Silverlink Communications) are very excited to see three of our clients get selected to present at DMAA this year.  That is a tribute to all their hard work, creativity, inspiration, and willingness to leverage technology to improve outcomes.

Here are the presentation summaries from online:

Reducing Blood Pressure in Seniors with Hypertension Using Personalized Communications
CONTINUUM OF CARE SERIES
Wednesday, Oct. 13, 1-2 p.m.

• Examine how an integrated communications program that utilizes remote monitoring and interactive voice response components combine for an easily scalable, cost-effective solution to reduce hypertension.
• Review a program where 18 percent of participants transitioned their hypertension from out-of-control to well or adequate control.
• Identify best practices for how personalized, automated, interactive communications can be leveraged to control hypertension in a scalable manner.
• Evaluate how high blood pressure readings alerted patients with immediate feedback and education to help them better manage hypertension.

Improving Statin Adherence through Interactive Voice Technology and Barrier-Breaking Communications
Wednesday, Oct. 13, 2:15-3:15 p.m.

• Examine how interactive voice response (IVR) and barrier-breaking communications can measurably improve statin adherence.
• Review key barriers to statin adherence, including several barriers that are more significant than cost.
• Identify best practices for using IVR technology to improve statin adherence by addressing specific barriers.
• Evaluate how continuous quality improvement processes were used to drive higher response rates to IVR prescription refill reminder calls.

Addressing Colorectal Screening Disparities in Ethnic Populations
Thursday, Oct. 14, 12:30-1:30 p.m.

• Examine how interactive voice response (IVR) technology and personalized messaging improves the rate of colorectal cancer screening for different populations.
