How well are you engaging the people you serve to make better decisions and get better outcomes? You can have the brightest professional minds in the room, yet we’ve found that until you listen to the people who are trying to get care and services every day, lasting, meaningful action is unlikely. CACP helps organizations build dynamic, inclusive approaches. We walk with you to learn from the people you serve for powerful, mutually beneficial results that improve care and forward your organization’s mission and goals for years to come. This is work we love to do, and we’ve been doing it for decades. Consumer partnership is the best way forward. #communityengagement #businesssuccess #efficiency #consumerpartnership #cacp

The power of listening in health care: It takes a bold, forward-thinking organization to value every voice, putting lived experience at the heart of strategy. We know this is the key to creating lasting impact for both consumers AND the health care organizations that serve them. How can your healthcare system better listen to, hear from, and understand the people you are trying to serve? This is part of what we’re talking about at this week’s conference in Pittsburgh, Putting Care at the Center 2024. What are your thoughts?

Business success goes hand in hand with consumer partnership. This is what CACP is designed to help leaders think about:  - What are the things we need to do as an organization in order to integrate #livedexperience into our culture? - How can we embody empathy in everything that we do?   It’s not easy, but the potential is real. This is what keeps us going, to help you create better health care experiences and outcomes for those you serve. “In order for an organization to be successful in truly integrating the voices of people with lived experience into the very fabric of the organization, commitment and buy-in from the top down is a foundational requirement.” - Melinda Karp, President & CEO #cacp #consumerpartnership #healthcare
