Silverlink Communications Inc., the leader in healthcare consumer communications, and Health Dialog, a leading provider of care management and analytic services, are scheduled to present this week at AHIP Institute 2009, one of the healthcare industry’s most influential conferences. The companies will jointly address the value of using analytical techniques to positively drive healthcare behavior change.

The one-hour session will specifically explore how the healthcare industry can leverage best practices from other leading consumer industries and apply these learnings to the unique challenges of motivating and driving healthcare behaviors. “At a time when preventable conditions account for the majority of our nation’s healthcare costs, we must look to the leaders in consumer industries on how to successfully engage the consumer,” says Chuck Eberl, Vice President, Marketing at Silverlink Communications and moderator of the session. “Innovative healthcare enterprises are already seeing the impact of an analytical approach with outcomes of significantly improved health and dramatically lowered costs,” he said.

Howard Gross, Health Dialog’s Vice President of AutoDialog® Operations and Jack Newsom, Sc.D., Silverlink’s Senior Director of Analytics will co-present during this interactive session. The presentation entitled Every Touch Counts: Using Communications & Analytics to Drive Health Behaviors is scheduled for Friday, June 5th at 11:25AM PST at the San Diego Convention Center, within the Wellness, Prevention, and Personal Responsibility: Creating Healthier Communities track.
