Engaging people in their health is widely recognized as critical to better health, improved care and more efficient use of healthcare resources. URAC defines patient engagement where practices and services enable patients to positively participate in their health and healthcare to the extent they are able to obtain the greatest benefit from the healthcare services available to them.
Engagement signifies that a person is involved in a process through which (s)he harmonizes robust information and professional advice with his own needs, preferences and abilities in order to prevent, manage or cure disease.
Patient engagement can yield clinical and financial results by addressing areas that account for the challenges that continue to plague the system. They include:
Patient satisfaction
Patient flow
Medication adherence
Readmissions
Disease Prevention/chronic condition management.
Ultimately, patient engagement can improve compliance and make for better decisions, resulting in a better overall healthcare experience for all parties involved.
