Claire Sachs is a healthcare policy strategist, advisor, and speaker. Drawing on more than 20 years in policy, communications, government relations, and strategic consulting, alongside 40+ years navigating the healthcare system as a patient and caregiver, she examines how decisions made throughout the healthcare ecosystem affect trust, implementation, and real-world outcomes. Her perspective centers on a recurring challenge in healthcare and innovation: important decisions are often made using information that appears complete, yet misses critical context from the people expected to live with the consequences.
Claire has contributed to advisory boards, policy initiatives, standards development, communications efforts, and patient engagement projects across healthcare, including work with organizations such as HL7, NCQA, IVI, PACIO, Mathematica, and the Maryland Department of Health.
She is the founder of TPAC Consulting and the Patient Advocate's Chronicle.
