Take Aways
• Patient Engagement is key to Meaningful Use Stage 2
• Reaching the 5% participation threshold is a challenge
• Integration of patient engagement into a strategic initiative is the key
• There is growing evidence that patient engagement impacts medical outcomes

• This is our goal, is it happening now?Friend is being treated at two health systems, both have the same EHR, PHR• When he logged into the second PHR, it prompted him,
asking if he agreed to integrate his two medical records. He agreed.
• The next time he saw his specialist at the first facility, she noticed that his records from the other system had been integrated into his record
• Lessons: – Health information exchange works– Should be driven by the patient’s consent– Leads to a more engaged patient– This is what Meaningful Use is about
One Patient, One Record

Patient Engagement Defined
We define engagement as “actions individuals must take to obtain the greatest benefit from the healthcare services available to them”
This definition focuses on behaviors of individuals Relative to their healthcareThat are critical and proximal to health outcomesRather than the actions of professionals or policies

Meaningful Use Stage 2
• Provide patients the ability to view online, download and transmit their health information within four business days of the information being available to the EP (for EPs only) More than 50% of all unique patients seen by the EP are provided timely online access to their health information
• Provide patients the ability to view online, download and transmit their health information within 36 hours after discharge from the hospital (for Eligible Hospitals/CAHs only)
• Use secure electronic messaging to communicate with patients on relevant health information (for EPs only) More than 5% of all unique patients seen
View, Download, Transmit

Patient Activation is the First Step for Patients and Providers
• Believing the patient role is important• Having the confidence and knowledge necessary to take action
• Actually taking action to maintain and improve one’s health
• Staying the course even under stress• More likely to have a breast cancer screen or clinical indicators in the normal range (A1c, HDL, and triglycerides)

Unique aspect of this standard
• Requires patient participation • Incentivizes the provider or
hospital to engage and motivate the patient to participate in a portal and secure messaging
• 87 percent – say they want to control their health data. (Accenture)

Why Patient Engagement

Patient Engagement Tools
• Patient Portal basics– Appointments– Prescriptions including refill
requests– Results – lab, radiology, etc.– Problem list
• Secure Messaging
![Page 14: Value of Patient Engagement Technologies](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022081412/53f894328d7f7253318b46ea/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
Implementation of Patient Engagement• Module from EMR vendor or add on?• Must have the workflow in place to
manage these– Triage workflow – similar to phone
calls – who does prescription refills, appointment requests, when to escalate to the provider?
• What about proxy access?• Releasing labs – immediate or after
provider reviews?• What are the exceptions to release of
data? Mental health, genetic testing, HIV, cancer diagnosis, others?

Adoption Strategies
• Opt-in versus Opt-out? Opt out gets you there faster
• Educate at the point of care– Have patient/caregiver login day of or day
before discharge– Education in waiting rooms– Online how-to videos
• Educate patients about appropriate use of secure messaging
• Mobile

Meaningful Use Stage 1
• Many hospitals and providers were eager to receive incentives
• Hurry to meet the minimum requirements• Stage 2 – more emphasis on having an impact on quality of care
• Should not be another check

Six Examples of Value (1)
Patient Education + Telemedicine = lower blood pressureCombination of patient education and remote patient monitoring • Reduce the average systolic blood pressures for 34 patients by 20 points in week
• continuing to a 30-point drop in week five

Six Examples of Value (2)
How Outcomes are achieved through patient portals: a realist review• 15 of the 18 Randomized Clinical Trials
demonstrated significant positive effects on these outcomes
• No studies found serious adverse consequences of patient portal implementations

Six Examples of Value (3)
Controlling asthma through appsPilot study from Geisinger Clinic•50 percent reduction in the number of people with uncontrolled asthma among users of the device and app.
•App enables providers to check in more often with their patients and may help avoid asthma-related emergency department visits or hospitalizations.

Six Examples of Value (4)
Mayo Clinic has started testing a mobile Cardiac Rehab app•Led to a 40 percent reduction in admissions
•only 20 percent of participants were admitted to the ER within 90 days
• In the control group, 60 percent of participants were readmitted in the same timeframe

Six Examples of Value (5)
Inviting Patients to Read Their Doctors' Notes: A Quasi-experimental Study and a Look Ahead• 11,797 of 13,564 Patients accessed visit notes
frequently• a large majority reported clinically relevant benefits
and minimal concerns• virtually all patients wanted the practice to continue• With doctors experiencing no more than a modest
effect on their work lives, open notes seem worthy of widespread adoption.

Six Examples of Value (6)• Blue Button VA Users reported that:
– For 73% helps them understand their health history better because it is all in one place
– For 72% helps them monitor their laboratory results better
– 68% reporting that it makes it easier for them to give others important information about their health.
– Use of the Blue Button for care coordination was most likely in patients with diabetes or lung disease, individuals who rated their computer ability higher, and those who had a system for organizing their health information.
– High rates of satisfaction– Future work on the demonstrable impact of the Blue
Button on health behavior and outcomes

Challenges of Measuring Value
Mayo Clinic – difficult to measure changes in healthcare utilization• Conclusions: No significant change in face-to-
face visit frequency was observed following implementation of portal messaging.
• Secure messaging and e-visits through a patient portal may not result in a change of adult primary care face-to-face visits.
• Functionality of patient portal may change – enhancements, upgrades
• Improved workflow may improve utilization
