Patient engagement efforts come in many shapes and sizes, but not every attempt at engagement leads to better care. And because empowered patients are more likely to follow treatment plans than those who are apathetic, it’s imperative for physicians to identify the best mediums to use when connecting with patients.
But with so many patient portals and EHR options on the market, how are doctors supposed to know which will best improve health outcomes as well as facilitate their day-to-day administrative duties?
Enter CareCloud’s Director of Design and Community Mike Cuesta. He suggests that because of today’s increasingly mobile culture, smartphones and tablets are the most effective way to engage patients.
“If you want to connect with your patient base, it’s important to go where they are. Today, that place is the mobile phone,” said Cuesta. “If physicians want to get their message in front of patients, they have to take a big hard look at their mobile strategy – starting with their website and continuing through the clinical experience by allowing them to access their medical records from your EHR – no matter where they are.”
