Anjali Bright reposted thisAnjali Bright reposted thisMay is Mental Health Awareness Month, and it serves as a reminder of the vital role behavioral health professionals play in helping people access the care they need. Behavioral health teams do life-changing work every day. They support people through their hardest and most vulnerable moments, helping them feel seen and supported. We are proud to recognize the clinicians, care teams, advocates, and organizations working to make a meaningful difference in their communities. Thank you for all you do! If you’re struggling with your mental health, you are not alone.

Anjali Bright shared thisI traveled coast to coast in the last half of April—first to Florida for NextGen Healthcare’s annual Commercial Growth Kickoff and then to California for Social Media Marketing World, one of the biggest continuing education opportunities for marketing professionals. Both trips were so informative and energizing! ✈️ It was a treat to catch up in Orlando with my talented NextGen Healthcare colleagues from around the country as we learned from industry experts and one another about how we are making healthcare better for patients, providers, and practices by delivering technology that enables measurable, meaningful outcomes. NextGen is reimagining healthtech in exciting ways and it’s an honor to be a part of this work! ✈️ At Social Media Marketing World in Anaheim, I heard from thought leaders in the social media space about how their teams are overcoming algorithm changes, growing audiences, and building genuine connections with followers. Speakers highlighted the importance of authenticity on social media in a time where there is a widespread “trust recession” and people often aren’t sure what content they can take at face value. 2026 is a wild and special time to be working at the intersection of healthcare, technology and social media! As I fly home today, I’m feeling grateful for this month of travel, learning, and making memories with colleagues in beautiful places 🌴🌊

Anjali Bright reposted thisAnjali Bright reposted thisNextGen Healthcare is entering its next era of platform and services innovation with a new brand identity! For more than 50 years, ambulatory practices have trusted us through regulatory shifts, staffing challenges, and industry curveballs. We don't take that trust lightly, and that’s why we keep evolving to help practices navigate change with confidence, reach goals faster, and achieve meaningful results. “Healthcare is becoming more complex, and every assumption regarding traditional provider workflows and patient journeys is being challenged. Our brand refresh aligns with work across the company to creatively remove friction and complexity from the practice of medicine,” said Srinivas Velamoor, president and chief executive officer, NextGen Healthcare. We’re evolving from a system of record to a “system of context and action” where workflows are reimagined as core platforms deliver new AI and agentic orchestration capabilities. As part of our refreshed brand identity, we’re introducing: ➡️ A new mission statement: We deliver purpose-built solutions for the evolving needs of diverse ambulatory practices. ➡️ A modernized logo and visual system that reflects momentum, bold innovation, and a more contemporary, tech-forward aesthetic. ➡️ A new tagline: Your Practice.

Anjali Bright liked thisAnjali Bright liked thisAt Feather River Tribal Health, Inc., limited messaging, manual cancellation tracking, and overwhelmed phone lines made it harder for patients to schedule or reschedule care. The team needed a more connected way to improve access without adding more work for staff. With solutions from NextGen Healthcare, appointment workflows now connect inside the existing platform. Patients can request appointments on their own time, and when a cancellation opens up, automated waitlist outreach helps fill the slot faster without sending staff back to the phones. Patient messages also become a true two-way dialogue, so teams can respond quickly instead of sorting through manual follow-up. The impact? Year over year, Feather River scheduled 9,551 more appointments and saw an estimated 9,194 more kept visits. No-shows dropped 1.5 percentage points, and revenue increased 37%, largely due to scheduled appointments. With automation supporting the repetitive work, staff can spend more time helping patients get the care they need. Read the full story 👇

Anjali Bright liked thisAnjali Bright liked thisTOMORROW: Join a real-world conversation about making integrated care a reality. Care starts in the first moments someone connects with an organization, when teams begin to understand their health needs and the circumstances shaping their care. That early view helps the right people coordinate the right services from the start. Presented in partnership with MHCA, join data specialists and behavioral health experts from the Colorado Coalition for the Homeless and NextGen Healthcare to learn how the Coalition brings clinical, social, and housing information together from the start. Drawing from its work at a Federally Qualified Health Center in downtown Denver and across nontraditional care settings, the team will show how a more connected intake process supports stronger care coordination, earlier identification of coverage and benefits, and better use of limited resources. You’ll leave with practical ideas for turning an integrated care strategy into a model that works in the real world—one that meets people where they are and helps teams act on what they learn.

Anjali Bright liked thisAnjali Bright liked thisFor the “sandwich” generation caring for children and aging parents at the same time, healthcare can quickly become another full-time job. When appointments, referrals, follow-ups, bills, and care coordination all add up, families crave healthcare that feels easier to manage. Our article in The Charlotte Observer explores five ways AI and intelligent automation are helping reduce friction across the patient journey: 1️⃣ Reduced wait time to see a doctor 2️⃣ Faster referrals to a specialist 3️⃣ Fewer missed appointments 4️⃣ More accurate billing and claim resolution 5️⃣ Improved health outcomes When technology works across the care experience, families can spend less time chasing the next step and more time focusing on each other.

You can’t say that. I disagree. You just need to know how to get to "yes." The phrase "you can't say that" is frequently heard in healthcare communications, usually with the following specificity: “𝘛𝘩𝘦 𝘮𝘦𝘥𝘪𝘤𝘢𝘭/𝘭𝘦𝘨𝘢𝘭/𝘳𝘦𝘨𝘶𝘭𝘢𝘵𝘰𝘳𝘺 𝘵𝘦𝘢𝘮 (𝘔𝘓𝘙) 𝘸𝘰𝘯’𝘵 𝘭𝘦𝘵 𝘺𝘰𝘶 𝘴𝘢𝘺 𝘵𝘩𝘢𝘵.” (This is the part where “improvise, adapt, and overcome” becomes an essential philosophy.) To that point, here’s my 5-step roadmap to turn MLR’s "𝘕𝘰" into PR’s "𝘠𝘦𝘴": 𝟭/ 𝗜𝗻𝘀𝗶𝗴𝗵𝘁: Know this going in: the goal of MLR isn’t to just say “no.” It’s to protect the company. If they can do that, they’ll be willing to work with you. 𝟮/ 𝗘𝗻𝗴𝗮𝗴𝗲: Enroll company leadership as champions of the idea. If they’re on board as advocates, it’s a selling point to the MLR team. 𝟯/ 𝗔𝗻𝘁𝗶𝗰𝗶𝗽𝗮𝘁𝗲: Show MLR what challenges may exist and how you’ll overcome. Demonstrate how your approach complies with guidelines, such as FDA regulations on social media or scientific exchange. 𝟰/ 𝗣𝗮𝗿𝘁𝗻𝗲𝗿: Convey to MLR how you’ll keep them engaged throughout planning and execution. Invite them (and corporate leaders) to planning sessions and wherever tactics go live. Also, update, update, and update again. Transparent communication puts accountable parties at ease. 𝟱/ 𝗘𝘅𝗲𝗰𝘂𝘁𝗲: Provide a plan that demonstrates understanding of risks and how you’ll mitigate them before, during, and after the idea goes live. ----- Will this work every time? No. Not a chance. Will MLR alter your idea and make it tamer? Yes. Highly likely. Is it still worth it? Absolutely. If you’re an agency team, innovation is a huge part of showing up differently and adding value for clients. If you’re an in-house comms leader, you’re conveying the critical importance of the function. Some of the most innovative campaigns I’ve worked on in my career were a result of engaging early, sharing the goal, and finding a pathway to “𝘺𝘦𝘴.” So, does MLR seem a little less scary now? ++++++++++ Hi, I’m Joshua. I post daily PR strategy tips. Follow me here for ideas on how to turn communications into revenue, and subscribe to my Substack where I write about the intersection of storytelling and communications strategy: 𝘫𝘰𝘴𝘩𝘶𝘢𝘮𝘢𝘯𝘴𝘣𝘢𝘤𝘩.𝘴𝘶𝘣𝘴𝘵𝘢𝘤𝘬.𝘤𝘰𝘮 I’m actively exploring new roles, so if you need a story to make your company memorable and a communications strategy to make it profitable, send me a DM.
