Studies indicate that patient engagement is essential to healthcare outcomes at a time when patients aren’t accessing healthcare in the same way. Only about 55% of millennial patients report having a family doctor, compared with 85% of baby boomers. At the same time, 47% of patients now rely on technology to communicate with their doctors.
TempDev is here to help you better understand how patient engagement directly impacts your practice. Our team of experts consults with you to set up and manage patient portals, dashboards, and reports so you can better engage with your patients.
What is Patient Engagement?
Patient engagement refers to your patient-centric approach to care, education, support, and even communication. Your goal is to help your patients make better, more informed decisions about their care. Studies show that patient engagement helps patients to take a more active role in their own healthcare treatment and outcomes, including getting immunizations, showing up for check-ups, and keeping on track with diagnostic testing.
Electronic health records (EHRs) are becoming an even more important part of patient engagement as 80% of patients now access and use their health information. TempDev offers insight into the potential benefits and challenges of EHRs.
What Are the Benefits?
When you and your practice fully engage with your patients, you’ll see a range of positive and long-term benefits. Of course, it’s not always easy to connect with patients, especially across the digital divide, but the results and benefits speak for themselves.
As you engage with your patients, you’re working with them to identify health concerns and improve their overall health and wellness. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) reviews recent studies on patient engagement to highlight why and how it’s beneficial to your practice.
