engagement framework is the pathway- or roadmap- toward getting patients fully integrating

Q: Why should providers care about meaningful use? - CORRECT ANSWER✔✔- A:
Meaningful rules allow hospitals and clinicians to receive reimbursement for HIT
investments initially and to avoid penalties in the future when that technology is used in ways

healthcare system in the direction of being a value based system.
Q: How do we accomplish keeping providers and patients informed? (the Inform Me level of
the Patient Engagement Framework) - CORRECT ANSWER✔✔- A: Most healthcare
systems address the "Inform Me" need through their patient and marketing portals-- Including
providing health information through the hospital's website

CORRECT ANSWER✔✔- A: lack of validated, trustworthy information as well as
pharmaceutical bias and medical device ads that are intended to influence the consumer.

refills online)
,Q: How does patient engagement help providers? - CORRECT ANSWER✔✔- A: Patient

meet quality measures? Reimbursement!
