Wellness and Patient Engagement

Caradigm facilitates wellness and patient engagement to promote healthier lifestyles and empower patients in your population.

Patient engagement and empowerment is a key component of integrated care and managing the health and wellness of populations. Patient lifestyle and behaviours can have a much greater influence on health outcomes than the efforts of providers or health plans. Your organisation can engage patients for smoother recovery from health episodes and encourage informed patients to take greater responsibility for ongoing self-management.

Engage Patients for Better Results

Caradigm solutions provide three opportunities for you to engage patients for better results.

• Patients within the episode of care—making patients part of the care team, engaging with them early in the episode and in the hospital, preventing readmissions and providing them with tools for self-care
• Patients with chronic conditions—addressing the segments of the population that generate the highest cost, yet are often motivated and open to patient engagement, by providing the tools for ongoing care management in the home
• Healthy patients—engaging them around wellness and health maintenance and promoting fitness and positive behaviours to prevent health episodes and cost

To foster success in encouraging patients to take more responsibility for their own healthcare, you must employ the technology best suited to support engagement for each of the opportunities. Caradigm’s advanced solutions for integrated care are highly automated to avoid adding overhead costs and administrative time, integrated with clinical and financial systems, and capable of delivering the necessary capabilities for patient-centred care:

• Health information delivered before appointments to help patients prepare for their physician visit or treatment, on discharge or transition of care to lay out next steps and to improve patient compliance
• Online access to a version of their care plan, including lab test results, vital statistics, and other health measures
• Patient alerts to encourage preventive care, for health statistics that indicate physician intervention could be useful, for healthy patients to improve preventive care, for early disease detection and to identify gaps in care (missed appointments, health check-ups, prescriptions, etc.)
• Health risk assessments used to identify at-risk patients that aren't otherwise being detected and combined with other health trends, and shared via the care plans to allow patients to evaluate their own performance relative to health improvement goals
• Motivation tools to encourage healthier behaviour, including physician and care giver engagement and intervention if necessary

Patient Portal and Personal Health Records
