What have we learned?

It’s Hard

• Recruitment• Targeting• Making the intervention work• Management across institution• Outreach to primary care

It’s Easy to get it Wrong

Be ready to change• Zoom in/out• User segment pivot• User need pivot• Business architecture pivot• Channel pivot

It’s Worth It

• Patients appreciate the comprehensiveness• Providers appreciate being connected• Managers appreciate connection to other

institutions• Policymakers like the coherence

There’s Much More to Do

• No magic bullets• No clear answers yet• More people are in the game• Growing potential for cumulative learning

Thanks!
