Engage, Educate, Empower
Engage
Engaging patients through information exchange and shared decision-making enables them to:
- Adequately prepare and manage their health.
- Become more informed about existing conditions.
- Select the most appropriate help and support to meet their treatment needs.
These strategies can help healthcare organizations cut costs and improve quality outcomes.
Educate
Improving healthcare outcomes starts at the source: with the provider. Health systems must integrate new methods of clinician-to-patient interaction that are empathic and responsive to individual needs. The unique combination of content and technology allows clinicians to provide patients with the information and tools they need to manage their own health. Through interactive multimedia programs that include art, animation, and plain, conversational language, the conversation between patient and provider can be extended, and patients are then better equipped to manage their condition.
Empower
Healthcare providers must scout ways to engage and empower patients well-beyond the clinical care setting. Today, this can be achieved through interactive information tools, voice technologies, and unique care initiatives that encourage patients to self-manage their conditions, while fostering an open dialogue between patient and provider.
