Collaboration to expand the reach and impact of the global "What Matters to You?" movement
NASHVILLE, Tenn., Jan. 7, 2025 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- The Beryl Institute and WMTY.world (What Matters to You) announce an exciting new collaboration built on a shared vision of elevating the voices of patients and families, driving innovation, and refocusing healthcare around what truly matters to those it serves.
WMTY.world and The Beryl Institute share a deep commitment to putting people—patients, families, care teams and communities—at the heart of health and social care. WMTY.world's mission is to foster meaningful connections between patients and providers by focusing on the simple yet profound question: "What matters to you?" This approach inspires person-centered care and aligns healthcare delivery with individual values and needs.
Maureen Bisognano, a global healthcare leader and member of the WMTY.world convening team, highlights the significance of this collaboration: "We are at a vital moment in healthcare globally as the patient's voice is heard and is stimulating the redesign of care for better health and best care. When organizations with a shared vision come together, we can accelerate this change and build on the international energy for innovating, sharing, and improving our healthcare world."
With this collaboration, all operations of the global WMTY.world movement, including its online presence and international communications, will be supported by The Beryl Institute in partnership with WMTY.world's Convening Team. The collaboration will leverage the strengths of both organizations to:
- Amplify the Patient's Voice: Encourage healthcare providers to adopt practices that center around understanding and acting on what matters most to patients and families.
- Create a connected and empowered community: Explore what matters most to those providing health and social care and connect them to their core purpose.
- Foster Global Innovation: Share best practices and innovative strategies across international networks to enhance care delivery and patient experience worldwide.
- Expand a Unified Movement: Unite healthcare leaders, organizations, and communities to grow a powerful global movement for compassionate, person-centered care.
"Healthcare is fundamentally about human beings caring for human beings, where compassion, communication, and connection are the drivers of the outcomes we strive for every day," said Jason A. Wolf, President & CEO, The Beryl Institute. "We are proud to collaborate with the WMTY.world movement in elevating the human experience in healthcare. Together, we will strive to inspire environments where every individual feels seen, heard, and valued, ensuring that a focus on our humanity remains at the heart of every interaction along the healthcare journey."

About WMTY.world
What Matters to You (WMTY.world)? is an international person-centered care movement inspired by a 2012 New England Journal of Medicine article, Shared Decision-Making: The Pinnacle of Patient-Centered Care, written by Michael Barry and Susan Edgman-Levitan. The underlying principle, "Ask, listen, do" what matters is intended to shift the power to the person who knows best about the help or support they need, whether it be a person with a medical issue or the clinicians or staff providing care. WMTY conversations help healthcare teams understand what is "most important" to patients, leading to better care partnerships and improved patient experience.
