Whole Person Care
is vital. By ways of analogy, on a baseball team, skilled athletes play select positions to their best ability or homes are built by experienced carpenters, plumbers, roofers, electricians, and other craftspeople. In each example, optimal results are achieved via professionals applying their unique expertise. Similarly, in a healthcare system dependent on numerous medical specialists, talented teamwork must apply. Cardiologists expertly take care of heart disease, endocrinologists of diabetes, oncologists of cancer, ophthalmologists of vision, psychiatrists of mental health and hearing care providers of communication wellness.

Health Literacy
is defined by the World Health Organization as “cognitive and social skills which determine the motivation and ability of individuals to gain access to, understand and use information in ways which promote and maintain good health. By improving people’s access to health information and their capacity to use it effectively, health literacy is critical to empowerment.” Guided by this definition, we realize there is a lot of complicated medical knowledge patients and families may not understand, especially since profound research indicates many read at grade or middle school levels. As you reflect on 1000’s of clinical encounters, on a scale from 1-10, how well do most folks understand all the diagnostic and technical information you wish they would?

While academia typically refers to
Translational Research
as transference of precious learnings from Lab to Clinic, HDI’s patient-centric and progressive approach defines it as “helping to translate complex medical analytics into more easily understood formats which empower the maximum number of clinicians and patients to make well-informed diagnostic and treatment decisions.” Just imagine how improved medical information transparency can benefit all involved.

The “Art” is our extensive collection of
proprietary educational content
, visually expressed in a high impact array of omni-channel ways. As they say, “a picture is worth 1000 words”, especially with the “Art” of how communication wellness specialists like you effectively share educational information with those in need. The “Science” is
peer-reviewed data insights
which amazing researchers devote years and careers to documenting. Just as there are technological breakthroughs which enhance quality of life, there are informational breakthroughs which more should be aware of. For example, how about the 2017 Lancet Commission study on Dementia Prevention, Intervention, and Care? Beyond a tweet, Facebook post or occasional mention, what is it that we consistently “do with” this type of precious evidence?
People know what landscapes and seascapes are.

As always, I welcome your valuable feedback and “
in principle
” am at your service.
