Infographic: EHR + CRM = Superior Patient Engagement

February 13th, 2017 by Melanie Matthews

U.S. hospitals that provide superior patient experiences generate 50 percent higher financial performance than average providers…key in today’s shift from volume- to value-based healthcare, according to a new infographic by Evariant. True patient engagement is about creating trust between the patient and health system, nurturing a relationship over the course of a patient’s lifetime.

This understanding is possible by integrating healthcare CRM software and EHR systems. Combined, these two systems weave together patient data from a variety of sources, including demographic, social, behavioral, and clinical data.

The infographic examines how a combined EHR and CRM can bridge the patient engagement gap and extend the EHR investment.

Infographic: EHR + CRM = Superior Patient Engagement

Patient-centric interventions like population health management, health coaching, home visits and telephonic outreach are designed to engage individuals in health self-management—contributing to healthier clinical and financial results in healthcare’s value-based reimbursement climate.

But when organizations consistently rank patient engagement as their most critical care challenge, as hundreds have in response to HIN benchmark surveys, which strategies will help to bring about the desired health behavior change in high-risk populations?

9 Protocols to Promote Patient Engagement in High-Risk, High-Cost Populations presents a collection of tactics that are successfully activating the most resistant, hard-to-engage patients and health plan members in chronic condition management. Whether an organization refers to this population segment as high-risk, high-cost, clinically complex, high-utilizer or simply top-of-the-pyramid ‘VIPs,’ the touch points and technologies in this resource will recharge their care coordination approach.

Infographic: How Digital Health Is Shaping EHRs

May 23rd, 2016 by Melanie Matthews

Although provider’s electronic health record (EHR) adoption jumped from 42 percent in 2009 to 83 percent in 2014 as a result of the Health Information Technology for Economic and Clinical Health (HITECH) Act of 2009, the broader impact of this transition remained questionable on patient outcomes. While EHRs are expected to improve the quality and accessibility of healthcare, increase patient engagement, and lower care costs, issues of cost, usability, interoperability, and regulatory compliance severely limited the anticipated growth, according to a new infographic by Vigyanix.

With the rise of digital health, however, the EHR landscape is shifting dramatically and the barriers to adoption have started to diminish. The infographic examines how digital health is shaping the future of today’s EHRs.

While widespread adoption of electronic health records has generated new streams of actionable patient data, John C. Lincoln has taken data mining to new levels to enhance performance of its accountable care organization (ACO).
