What is Patient engagement ? "Patient engagement" is

certainly not a new or

revolutionary concept. In

business, we all are aware

of the concept of consumer

engagement and in

healthcare, patients are the

consumers. So patient

engagement is consumer

engagement in healthcare.

We all have seen the benefits of consumer engagement in other

industries like Retail, Banking etc. Now Healthcare is also catching up

with other industries with its very own consumer engagement

movement called "Patient engagement".

Benefits of effective patient engagement- The increase in hospital revenue- An

effective engagement with patients helps

hospitals to reduce readmission penalty

& enable them to build value-based

contracts. This eventually leads to

substantial increase in revenue.

Better decision making & results - Leveraging patient engagement methods

all the players in the ecosystem (patients,

caregivers & doctors) can have a quick a

transparent communication with each

other and this helps in better decision

making and produce better results.

Benefits of effective patient engagement (continued...)-

Patient satisfaction- Since

patients are involved in the

decision making and can also

contribute in the process, thus

patients feel more satisfied with

treatment.

Population health - Technology is the backbone of effective patient

engagement solution, this also means we can create a database of the

health record. Scientists & researchers can analyze this health data to

augur healthcare trends, which is beneficial for all.

Ways to effectively engage with your patients-  Healthcare Mobile apps-

According to Pew research

center 90 percent of U.S.

adults own a cell phone and

58 percent of U.S. adults own

a smartphone. Thirty-one

percent of cell phone owners

and 52 percent of smartphone

owners have used their phone

to look up health or medical

information. Among the findings from a Strategy& survey of 2,339 U.S. residents,

more than a 25% of respondents said they'd rather interact with their

health care provider digitally rather than in person or over the

telephone. Aforesaid figures speak volumes about the role of

mobile apps in implementing effective patient engagement

ecosystem.

Ways to effectively engage with your patients  (Continued...)- 

Use of Social media- Healthcare

organization can use their social

media pages to post surveys,

information etc. to engage patients

with relevant information. In today's

era, people are more inclined to

respond to social media pages

rather than web portals.

Leveraging wearable devices- Today's tech-

savvy population is equally crazy for wearable

devices such as Apple watch, FitBit etc;

Healthcare organization can have their mobile

apps integrated with these wearable devices;

data received using these devices can help

healthcare organizations to prepare information

which can definitely be engaging for patients.

Automated health alerts - With more and more

use of technology in healthcare, it is a very

feasible way for healthcare entities to send

automated health alerts to their patients, health

alerts not only help patients in their care

management but also engage patients in a

better way.

Availability of Educational material on the internet- 1 in 20 Google searches is for health-related

information.

80 percent of Internet users seek online health information, 77 percent of

patients used a search prior to booking an appointment, 66 percent of Internet

users look online for information about a specific disease or medical problem.
