  • Welcome

    I am your host and Gap Minder Stephen Wilkins, MPH.

    My interest in physician-patient communications is both personal and professional. Watch a brief video of my story.

    As a former hospital executive, consumer health behavior researcher and recent care giver, I have witnessed first hand the marvelous, healing power of trusted relationships between doctors and patients. Learn more about my story - video.

    I have also witnessed incredible oversights and gaps in physician-patient communications that have had "near catastrophic" consequences for patients like my wife who was dealing with lung cancer.

    Mind the Gap , and my company Smart Health Messaging, focus on developing ideas and solutions for improving the quality of communications between physicians and patients...and in so doing, improve patient engagement, safety and outcomes, increase adherence and satisfaction and reduce costs.
