SHORT READ  |  MARCH 17, 2026

Navigating Today’s Fragmented Health Care Landscape

Americans are reacting to health care messages in dramatically different ways. See what’s driving those differences.

From preventive health to health policy, we need a new lens—or prism—to better understand how patients and voters make decisions.

Why PRISM

TURNING INSIGHTS INTO ACTION

PRISM is an audience intelligence platform that solves a critical challenge facing health care communicators today: how to create a compelling return on investment (ROI) with a fragmented public for your messages, brands and policies. PRISM reveals 16 distinct audience segments defined by the deeper belief systems that form the “prism” for how they receive, interpret and act on health information.

PRISM is an end-to-end solution that allows us to define, understand and reach today’s health care audiences.
