Why is it important to focus on patients?

When you have more time to focus on your patients instead of a computer screen, you can make patients feel like an integral part of their healthcare process, not just a background character.

When you can get patients engaged from the start, they’re more likely to use patient engagement tools later on and more empowered to make smart healthcare decisions.

Why is it important for medical professionals to keep pace?

What is the biggest challenge in improving overall patient health outcomes?

According to a patient engagement survey, the biggest challenge in improving overall patient health outcomes is delivery . 1 Currently, most health delivery systems suffer from low rates of patient engagement and are geared toward treating—rather than preventing—disease. 1 When patients lack the knowledge and tools to be proactive in managing their own care, many fail to adhere to prescribed treatments or don’t come in for services they need until it’s too late.

How effective is patient engagement?

Patient engagement solutions are highly effective in increasing involvement, which helps improve outcomes and lower healthcare costs. For instance, a 2016 study found that patients with access to their online health information who received timely alerts about care gaps were more likely to receive preventative tests and screenings compared with patients who didn’t have access or receive alerts. 3 Beneficiary engagement is also a key goal of MIPS and MACRA, so your use of patient engagement software can impact your value-based care incentives.
