Healthcare Organizations partner with Precision and PVBMHealth to actively involve patients in their own health care. This includes sharing decision-making and using tools for reporting self-management to better care. Patient engagement is a key component of value-based healthcare, which focuses on improving the quality of care while reducing costs. Providers are incorporating technology to achieve unprecedented goals and patient participation and engagement is key to those goals.
Engaged patients are more likely to engage in preventative behaviors such as regular health checkups, immunizations, mammograms, nutritious eating, and screenings. They are more likely to eat nutritious diets, exercise regularly, and avoid risky behaviors like smoking, using drugs, and drinking excessively. An engaged patient is more likely to identify a disease or diagnosis early, often resulting in avoidance of intense intervention or a grave prognosis, factors that are costly to the healthcare system and often, the patient and their family.
Patient engagement for value-based care delivers the best care value possible. Precision Patient Engagement technology offers cost-effective ways to enlist patients in their own care. Many organizations focus patient engagement efforts on the costliest patients, those with chronic conditions. Sometimes these patients may be unsuitable for technological engagement due to physical or mental challenges, but the same patient engagement support can be delivered to through caregivers and reap the same benefits, it has been shown that it is the best approach to engage ALL patients no matter the payer as a best practice. Providing tools and technologies for all individuals to care for themselves can easily prevent very expensive care episodes.
Take advantage of new billing codes that are spurred by digital health tools that are growing in popularity, such as Precision. These tools enable patients and physicians to connect asynchronously outside of face-to-face settings, making it easier for patients with transportation and scheduling barriers to get questions answered and receive care. Increase revenue organically and establish the platform too better outcomes.
