Nacinovich, Jr.<\/b> (<a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/nacinovich\">@nacinovich<\/a>), Managing Partner, AXON and editor emeritus of Journal of Communication in Healthcare:<\/p>\n<p><a name='more'><\/a>&#8220;My colleague and trusted friend John Mack, and his co-author, Letizia Affinito, have prescribed an end-to-end tome that serves as both \u201cvaccine\u201d and \u201cnovel treatment\u201d to advance patient-centered digital communications. Their guidance informs and gives thoughtful consideration on how to design and create digital communication strategy, maintain relevance, and ultimately transform the conversation with the ultimate end-user of all of our work &#8211; the patient. In an increasingly commoditized industry sector, these profound insights proclaim the value of digital, mobile, and social, that no one engaged in health care should be without. Mack and Affinito have dispensed a patient-centered imperative embracing new media, methodologies, and messaging, inviting us each to reflect and accelerate this dynamic area of innovation and engagement.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p><b>Mark Bard<\/b> (<a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/markbard\">@markbard<\/a>), Co-founder Digital Health Coalition, wrote this:<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;The past decade has ushered in challenges and opportunities for those seeking to use technology to optimize health and wellness on a broader scale. As patients increasingly embrace technology to learn, manage, and track their own health outcomes, providers and vendors seeking to engage or motivate consumers to take action (or change behavior) must embrace a patient-focused strategy within their overall marketing and communications strategy. Affinito and Mack provide a historical overview of the market trends as well as a future roadmap that is helpful to anyone charged with making the shift to patient-centered care today &#8211; and planning for what is possible tomorrow.&#8221;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Good news!
