Making Patients Your Partners in Satisfying MU Stage 2 Objectives: Case Studies in Patient Engagement Session 64
Speakers: Eric Manley | Simeon Schwartz, MD | David Rowe


Description:
Meaningful Use Stage I introduced the concept of communicating and sharing health information with patients using digital media. Stage II requires takes the bar to an entirely new level requiring the use of digital channels of communication like PHR's and patient portals to share health histories, and communicate using secure messaging, and reminding patients about important health events and activities. Early adopters of Personal Health IT learned that making the data available is not enough to motivate patients. The new IT systems, tools and platforms must be integrated into the provider's workflow if patients are to become actively engaged in their health.

Using Health IT to Engage Patients in Underserved Communities
Session 95
Room 387
1:00-2:00PM
 Description:
We live in an experience economy where people expect real time access to their health care team and health care information that is fits into their life. Practices that have implemented patient centered tools like secure patient portals, email access, mobile health, text messaging and patient centered engagement strategies have seen patient satisfaction improve, at the same time practice efficiency and financial results have improved. Those health care providers and practices that can provide these value-added services will not only retain existing clients but attract the most sophisticated new patients as well.

Session 83
Room 252
2:15-3:15 PM

Description:
Patients are the most underutilized resource in the U.S. health system, testified Dr. Charles Safran to Congress in 2004. Eight years later, the Holy Grail of patient/health engagement continues to challenge health providers and payers. Over those eight years, consumers' use of the Internet has grown via both tethered and mobile platforms, and people have adopted a wide range of devices to help them manage health and wellness. Consumers have done this largely dis-connected from their physician and the larger health system. This session will focus on the market drivers for patients to adopt and use innovative devices and tools which are being developed by incumbent health care technology players as well as consumer electronics companies and entrepreneurs. Case studies from innovative health providers will highlight how prescribing these tools to patients can bolster self-care and optimal health outcomes.
