Comment: Sources are not reliable. The HIMSS the article states it is an opinion so not fact-checked, Zappix is a blog, Verizon and Kyruss are a commercial businesses. I suggest searching Google Scholar for papers published in reputable journals (ex. Springer, ScienceDirect, NIH, etc.) and avoiding any with conflicts of interest. Also, this is written to the promote the topic rather than a neutral summary of available reliable sources. S0091 (talk) 16:13, 25 June 2024 (UTC)
Digital Patient Engagement refers to the use of technology to facilitate and enhance interactions between healthcare providers and patients. This approach leverages various digital tools and platforms to improve the patient experience, streamline communication, and increase efficiency in managing health-related tasks. By integrating digital solutions such as mobile apps, online portals, automated messaging systems, and telehealth services, healthcare organizations aim to create a more connected and responsive healthcare environment.
At its core, digital patient engagement seeks to empower patients by providing them with easy access to their health information, appointment scheduling, medication reminders, and educational resources[1]. This empowerment helps patients take a more active role in managing their health, leading to better outcomes and increased satisfaction. For instance, mobile health apps can provide real-time updates on test results, allow patients to track their symptoms, and offer personalized health tips. These features not only keep patients informed but also encourage adherence to treatment plans and proactive health management.[2]
In addition to improving efficiency and patient empowerment, digital patient engagement also enhances the overall patient experience. By offering convenient and user-friendly digital interactions, patients are more likely to feel valued and satisfied with their care. For instance, telehealth services enable patients to consult with their healthcare providers from the comfort of their homes, reducing the need for travel and waiting times.[3] Online portals and apps that provide access to personal health records and educational materials further enhance the patient journey, making it easier for patients to stay informed and engaged in their health care.[4]
Digital Patient Engagement Examples[5]:
- Patient Portals: Secure online platforms where patients can access their health records, schedule appointments, communicate with healthcare providers, and view lab results.
- Mobile Health Apps: Applications that help patients monitor their health, manage medications, track symptoms, and receive reminders for appointments or medications.
- Telemedicine: Virtual consultations via video calls, allowing patients to receive medical advice and care without needing to visit a healthcare facility.
- Wearable Devices: Gadgets like fitness trackers or smartwatches that monitor physical activity, heart rate, and other health metrics, providing data that can be shared with healthcare providers.
- Educational Content: Online resources such as videos, articles, and webinars that educate patients about their conditions and treatment options, helping them make informed decisions.
- Communication Tools: Secure messaging systems, chatbots, and AI-driven platforms that facilitate continuous communication between patients and healthcare teams.
- Remote Monitoring: Devices and systems that allow healthcare providers to monitor patients' health remotely, ensuring timely interventions when necessary.
Patient Expectations In Digital Patient Engagement
editThe Kyruus 2023 Patient Access Journey Report highlights that patients are increasingly adopting digital solutions for their convenience, efficiency, and personalization. By integrating digital innovations, healthcare providers can strengthen patient relationships, improve care access, and enhance patient outcomes. 65% of patients prefer communication via texts, emails, or mobile app notifications. This statistic highlights the increasing preference for asynchronous communication methods that provide more convenience for patients.[6] Providing patients with self-service options for appointment scheduling is necessary in order to increase their healthcare experience and satisfaction, in fact; "79% of consumers agree they would schedule appointments directly from their health plan’s website or app if given the ability to do so."[6]
