In the simplest form, Patient Knowledge Deficit measures what the patient knows about their specific disease state. The less they know, the less likely they are going to follow their treatment plan. Work with Halo Health to start reducing the gap.
2. Important Measure in Standard Care Plans
■ Patient Knowledge Deficit recognizes the
patient’s knowledge base on important parts
of their treatment including nutritional needs,
side effects, and disease prevention and fills in
the gaps to help the patient live healthier.
■ Reducing Patient Knowledge Deficit will help
you reduce readmissions, improve positive
outcomes, and ensure more compliance. This
will ultimately yield higher revenue and lower
costs to serve.
