    Johnson & Johnson Medical Devices Companies introduces My Health Can’t Wait, an educational effort and resource hub, aimed to inspire people to prioritize their health and get the information they need to pursue care with confidence. More than two-thirds of Americans surveyed (68 percent) say they or someone in their household delayed or canceled healthcare services due to the COVID-19 pandemic and experts believe this could negatively impact patients’ health in the long-term.1 My Health Can’t Wait is a U.S. campaign and global resource hub that provides patients with key resources and information to communicate with their healthcare providers about prioritizing needed care.
     
    “As the largest healthcare company in the world, we are committed to helping people live their healthiest lives, which means getting the care they need, when they need it,” said Ashley McEvoy, Executive Vice President, Worldwide Chairman, Medical Devices, Johnson & Johnson. “Through My Health Can’t Wait, we hope to provide patients and healthcare providers with resources to help stay connected and prioritize their healthcare, both during this pandemic and in the future.”
     
    The COVID-19 pandemic has caused many Americans to delay healthcare treatment, from standard routine exams to important elective surgeries to ER visits—with physicians sharing concern about the long-term impact of patients delaying care. In fact, a recent survey conducted from July 9-13, 2020 within the U.S. by The Harris Poll on behalf of Johnson & Johnson Medical Devices Companies among 2,016 adults ages 18+ found a majority of Americans surveyed consider their overall health (88 percent), preventative healthcare (73 percent), and sick care (63 percent) to be a major or moderate priority during COVID-19, but only 31 percent say the same of undergoing an elective survey or medical procedure.1 Other key findings include:
     
    • 81 percent of Americans surveyed who discussed telehealth options with a healthcare professional during COVID-19 say they would be comfortable using telehealth to manage their care1
    • Those who have discussed telehealth services with a healthcare professional during COVID-19 report an increased likelihood of scheduling a necessary surgery or medical procedure if they had the option of staying connected with their healthcare professional via telehealth before or after the procedure (47 percent vs. 31 percent)1
    • 69 percent surveyed report that there are things that would make them more confident pursuing elective surgery or a medical procedure during COVID-19, such as details on hospital sanitation policies (26 percent), details of hospital testing policies (22 percent), or a personal call from their doctor (17 percent)1
     
    These sentiments, coupled with many states in the U.S. pausing elective surgeries in response to the COVID-19 pandemic, have created concern over patients’ long-term health.
     
    “Supporting patients and medical professionals during this challenging time is our top priority, as delays in needed care could negatively impact health in the long-term,” said Jijo James, Chief Medical Officer, Johnson & Johnson Medical Devices Companies. “Because patients and medical professionals put their trust in us, we are committed to doing our best to help patients feel more confident as they re-enter the healthcare system to resume care.”
     
    With this in mind, Johnson & Johnson Medical Devices Companies compiled information from reputable sources, including the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, to create an online hub at www.MyHealthCantWait.com to help patients feel more comfortable pursuing their healthcare needs. It provides important resources for patients and caregivers, including:
     
    • A Patient/Caregiver Checklist and Discussion Guide to help people have conversations with their healthcare professionals
    • Safety FAQs detailing safety measures taken by hospitals and surgery centers to help protect patients from COVID-19
    • Telehealth 101 Resources to help patients understand the use of telehealth for routine and pre-/post-op care, as nearly three-quarters of the survey participants (73 percent) say they would be comfortable using telehealth services as a way of managing their healthcare1
    • Patient Stories, and more
     
    Resource materials will also be available to healthcare professionals to strengthen communication between surgeons and patients/caregivers, as well as enable hospitals to promote the safety of their services and help instill confidence.
     
    Johnson & Johnson Medical Devices Companies is working with the Association for Healthcare Social Media (AHSM) to scale My Health Can’t Wait to healthcare professionals throughout the U.S. and support them to help patients feel more confident taking a proactive approach to their healthcare. AHSM plays a key role in developing best practices for social media use in health and advocates for the recognition of social media as an important public health tool in the fight to combat misinformation.
     
    “It’s crucial for doctors to play their part in reassuring patients that steps are being taken to protect them as they prioritize their health,” said Austin Chiang, MD, MPH, President of the Association for Healthcare Social Media. “My Health Can’t Wait is an important effort to educate patients and encourage them to seek treatment they may need. We look forward to working with Johnson & Johnson Medical Devices Companies to launch this effort.”
