Drive Patients to the Actions that Improve Care

Patient engagement is about more than checking a box, sending an email, or making a phone call.

The goal is to connect, in a meaningful way that increases understanding, identifies and addresses possible barriers, and increases the likelihood that a patient will follow a prescribed care path.

Patients who are truly engaged are empowered to take control of their health and are more likely to adhere to treatment plans that help ensure better outcomes. The concept of patient engagement is central to many quality programs. But most of these programs do little more than require the completion of a form or patient outreach. To drive change, you have to drive the right action. In fact, as the Kaiser Family Foundation recently discussed, patient behavior has a huge impact on a patient’s health—much larger than other factors. This means that as providers are increasingly held accountable for a patient’s total health, connecting, communicating, and maintaining a strong relationship are all central to a provider’s performance.

Improve and Maintain Your Patient Relationships

Along with highlighting the need for increased engagement, the shift to value-based health care and the increasing power of patients as health care consumers is driving the need to provide optimal experiences of care.

Patient experience is about more than making patients happy. It is, first and foremost, about treating patients the way we would want our friends and family treated—providing the right support, at the right time, with compassion and communication. In addition to the moral and ethical imperatives behind patient experience, there are far reaching impacts for a hospital in terms of revenue, reputation, and patient loyalty.

The consumerization of health care in recent years means that patients have more options than ever, and better visibility into the effectiveness of hospitals, which must do more to win and keep their patients.
