The cost is simply too high.\u00a0 (Interestingly, virtual conferences make it that much easier to include patients and advocates \u2014 there are no travel costs).<\/p>\n<p>As a former attendee, I\u2019m on a lot of lists inviting me to attend again. In the last couple of years, I\u2019ve written to conferences asking them if they have or can create a patient\/advocate rate. And here\u2019s the crazy thing: they\u2019re often grateful someone brings this to their attention. Sometimes it doesn\u2019t dawn on them that patients and advocates are interested to attend \u2014 once they\u2019ve been made aware, they often create a discounted registration option.<\/p>\n<p>Recently, I\u2019ve been bolstering my ask with data from <a href=\"https:\/\/www.jmir.org\/2017\/8\/e280\/\">a study published in the <em>Journal of Medical Internet Research<\/em> by Utengen, et. al<\/a>. to also let them know that while conferences are meant to help spark innovation and disseminate information, the homogeneity of their attendees means it often doesn\u2019t get very far.<\/p>\n<p>Including patients and advocates is a good way to broaden their reach. Utengen and his co-authors found that, when engaged patient voices are included in health and medical conferences, they:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Greatly increase information flow as measured by total tweet volume (beta=301.6) compared to physicians (beta=137.3, <em>P<\/em>&lt;.001)<\/li>\n<li>Expand propagation of information tweeted during a conference as measured by social media impressions created (beta=1,700,000) compared to physicians (beta=270,000, <em>P<\/em>&lt;.001)<\/li>\n<li>Deepen engagement in the tweet conversation as measured by replies to their tweets (beta=24.4) compared to physicians (beta=5.5, <em>P<\/em>&lt;.001).<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>I think again of ePatient Dave\u2019s refrain: \u201cLet Patients Help!\u201d<\/p>\n<p>In addition to asking for discounted rates, we can also help conferences get creative about funding patient attendance \u2014 after all, in normal times travel costs are a big challenge. For example, conferences can ask attendees if they\u2019d like to add $25 or $50 to the cost of their registration to help fund patient\/advocate scholarships. And SPM could help identify local patients and advocates who may be interested to attend.<\/p>\n<p>Here\u2019s an example of an email I just sent out:<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 40px\">&#8220;Dear conference organizers, I\u2019m a member of the Society for Participatory Medicine. I and others in the patient and advocate community are interested to know if there\u2019s any kind of discounted rate for patients &amp; advocates who are interested to attend.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>It would also benefit the conference to include patients. Research shows that when engaged patient voices are included in health care conferences, they greatly increase information flow as measured by tweet volume, expand propagation of information tweeted during a conference, and deepen engagement in the conversation on social media: <u>https:\/\/<\/u><a href=\"http:\/\/www.jmir.org\/2017\/8\/e280\/\">www.jmir.org\/2017\/8\/e280\/<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>If there\u2019s any kind of patient\/advocate registration rate I can share with the participatory medicine \/ patient advocate community, let me know.<\/p>\n<p>Let\u2019s see if we can move the needle on helping conferences include patients and advocates for the benefit of all.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Did you enjoy this blog?<\/strong>\u00a0<a class=\"docs-creator\" href=\"https:\/\/participatorymedicine.org\/manifesto\">Sign the Manifesto<\/a>\u00a0and learn more about becoming a member.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I have attended hundreds of conferences: patient experience, patient education, health tech, health literacy, shared decision making \u2014 and the best part has always been meeting other advocates, patients, and [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":465,"featured_media":22101,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"give_campaign_id":0,"_et_pb_use_builder":"","_et_pb_old_content":"","_et_gb_content_width":"","_price":"","_stock":"","_tribe_ticket_header":"","_tribe_default_ticket_provider":"","_tribe_ticket_capacity":"0","_ticket_start_date":"","_ticket_end_date":"","_tribe_ticket_show_description":"","_tribe_ticket_show_not_going":false,"_tribe_ticket_use_global_stock":"","_tribe_ticket_global_stock_level":"","_global_stock_mode":"","_global_stock_cap":"","_tribe_rsvp_for_event":"","_tribe_ticket_going_count":"","_tribe_ticket_not_going_count":"","_tribe_tickets_list":"[]","_tribe_ticket_has_attendee_info_fields":false,"jetpack_post_was_ever_published":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_access":"","_jetpack_dont_email_post_to_subs":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_tier_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paywalled_content":false,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":"","jetpack_publicize_message":"","jetpack_publicize_feature_enabled":true,"jetpack_social_post_already_shared":true,"jetpack_social_options":{"image_generator_settings":{"template":"highway","default_image_id":0,"font":"","enabled":false},"version":2}},"categories":[1,8208,7344,8224,7],"tags":[],"coauthors":[8170],"class_list":["post-22100","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-general","category-manifesto","category-patient-conference-participation","category-patient-engagement","category-positive-patterns"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.3 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>An Easy Way we can Help Encourage Healthcare Conferences to Include Patients &amp;
