Requires real change by both Providers and Patients
2 Golden Rules of Patient Engagement
1. Patient Experience best measure of patient
engagement, and
2. Solicit Patient / Family Involvement in how the
practice should work for them.

Research → Better Experience = Better Outcome
Patient Involvement → Advisory Councils, Focus
Groups, Input = Patient-designed Care Process

Occurs at multiple levels

•
•
Problem: 75% of PCPs → No info about a patient’s
hospitalization post-discharge = Readmissions
Ineffective Transitions → Poor Outcomes and Increased Costs
1:5 Seniors (2.6M) readmitted within 30 days of discharge
o 2011 Poor Transitions → $25-45 Billion in wasteful spending
o
•
Hospitalization Care Gaps
o
o
o
o
o
o
o
o
Discharge Rx Reconciliation
Lack of Understanding of Discharge Plan of Care
Non-compliance or Untimely Post-discharge Plan of Care
No appointments with a PCP
Logistics (E.g. Transportation)
PCP unawareness of hospitalization
Lack, delay or inadequate communication with downstream provider
Lack or inadequate communication with home care provider (includes family)
888.879.7302 • www.SuccessEHS.com
38. MU2 and TOC / Referrals – 3 Tasks
• 1 Core Measure / 1 Task → Rx Reconciliation during TOC - 50%
• 1 Core Measure / 2 Tasks → Summary of Care Record for
TOC/Referrals
o 50% of TOCs / Referrals
- AND o 10% electronically transmitted
• Summary of Care Record Core Hospital/CAH measure, as well
• CMS Alignment → Critical to ACO Performance Gains
o 10% Improvement in DM Measures = 1% Reduction in Costs
o Conclusion: Care Coordination focus a “Must” for sustainable ACO
performance
o 6 ACO Performance measures link to care coordination

42. 5 Tips for Success – Patient Engagement
•
•
Tip 1: Measure Patient Satisfaction Pre- and Post-Project
Tip 2: Involve the Provider(s)
o
o
•
Tip 3: Address Cultural-Change Challenges
o
o
o
•
They must drive the medical responses
They are going to get mad with some survey results
“One more thing I have to do!”
“Our patients will never go online”
Creates a mutual interdependence between Providers and Patients
Tip 4: Add a “filter” and Map the Workflow
o
o
o
Make the workflow someone’s job (Think “Care Team”)
Get Providers into a routine (E.g. See patients, answer emails / flags,
cycle again)
Perhaps schedule time on the Provider’s calendar

43. 5 Tips for Success – Patient Engagement
•
Tip 5: Promote, Promote, Promote!
o
o
o
o
o
o
o
o
Refine the Message → Faster way to get lab results, refills, etc.; No
more Phone-Tag!
Strategically place Brochures (E.g., Ck-in / Ck-out, Waiting Room)
Add information on appt. reminder cards → “Use our online
scheduling!”
Remind patients of ability to request refills online when they call for
refills
Computer in waiting room to assist patients in registering, completing
paperwork, etc.
Replace “on-hold” music with introduction to patient portal
Add-on announcements with all statements, newsletters and
ePublications
Improve organizational branding

45. 6 Health IT Tips – Your IT Vendor
• Tip 1: Meaningful Use, PQRS and Other Dashboards?
o Metrics / Analytics by Provider
o Facilitates quick numerators/denominators for MU attestation
o Clinic analytics with drill-through details
• Tip 2: Patient Portal Inherent with System?
o Should be part of Core Offering
o Avoids Additional vendor and integration considerations
• Tip 3: Single database solution for PM and EHR
• Tip 4: EHR Direct PQRS
• Tip 5: More than just first call support
o Initiative Toolkits (E.g. MU, PCMH, PQRS)
o Consulting Support with domain experts
• Tip 6: Ongoing Client Educational Offerings
