answers
Q: Hospitals and other care providers use the patient engagement
framework to gradually expand the tools and methods they use to
improve quality of care delivery as well as quality of health. What
do I really mean by that? - answer A: The patient engagement
framework is the pathway- or roadmap- toward getting patients
fully integrating into his or her own health care.
Q: Why should providers care about meaningful use? - 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 that enhance the
experience and quality of care. It's also one more way for us to help
push our 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) -
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
Q: What's wrong with patient's accessing information from general
websites like WebMD? - answer A: lack of validated, trustworthy
information as well as pharmaceutical bias and medical device ads
that are intended to influence the consumer. Providing health
information through the hospital's (or clinic's; where ever) website
adds a degree of authenticity that leads patients to trust the
information and feel more comfortable sharing what they've learned
with their trusted clinicians.
,Q: What did we used to use before Health Information Technology to
help inform patients? - answer A: Self-care handbooks
Q: What are e-tools? - answer A: When I say e-tools I'm referring to
any electronically-delivered method that offers convenient features
for the patient and allows them to do more for themselves (e.g.
symptom checkers, food/fitness trackers, requesting Rx refills
online)
Q: How does patient engagement help providers? - answer A:
Patient reminders can help patients keep their upcoming
appointments (reducing "no show" rates for providers) and assist
them in remembering preventive cancer screenings or flu shots,
thus improving scores on quality measures for providers. And guess
what happens when providers meet quality measures?
Reimbursement!
Q: What are the benefits of patient empowerment? - answer A:
Improved communication between patient, provider, & care team
Q: What's the point of the Patient Engagement Framework? - answer
A: The point is the 5 stages of the Patient Engagement framework
can positively effect change and influence the achievement of better
care, better health, and lower cost
Q: What is behavioral economics? - answer A: Behavioral economics
incorporates economic, cognitive, and social psychology disciplines
to determine how individuals and institutions make economic
decisions. Remember that humans are innately impulsive and
irrational, and exhibit inconsistent patterns in decision making
based on emotions, social environment, and immediate
circumstance.
Q: How is behavioral economics different from traditional
economics? - answer A: traditional economics assumes that humans
are rational
, Q: What is an example of physician anchoring behavior? ("Doing for
patients what they have habitually done in the past under similar
circumstances") - answer A: Prescribing the same blood pressure
medications for every patient
Q: What's an example of physicians demonstrating status quo?

in cost
