Strategies and Technologies for Advancing Patient Engagement

Colin Buckley, Senior Analyst, and Adam Cherrington, Director of Patient Engagement Research, KLAS.  Patient engagement is as old as medicine, but the use of information technology to engage patients is just taking shape. Broad visions and experimentation abound, but pathways are still being cleared, and there is a lack of consensus regarding end goals. The resources needed to move forward are scarce, with investments largely being dedicated to more obvious business cases that are tactical and departmental. Colin and Adam break down the current state surrounding technologies helping to drive patient engagement strategies.
