Patient engagement with healthcare is a strong predictor of health outcomes and care satisfaction. This is an important target for all healthcare providers, but especially for rural healthcare providers where access to care is scarce. Ensuring quality healthcare means assessing how patients engage with their care and areas for improvement. This is a great example of how technology can reach patients at home to improve their care in-person! At Sparta Community Hospital in rural Illinois, “the hospital’s average no-show rate was nearly 15%, about 25% higher than the average in the field.” Through a one-way messaging platform the hospital was able to share reminders and information with patients at home. The AHA reports that “since implementation, the hospital has reduced no-show rates from 15% to 9%, the hospital reports. In addition, it has seen a 50% reduction in the burden on clinical staff since launching the platform.” Digital healthcare can be a powerful tool — when it’s coupled with an equally powerful purpose. By boosting patient engagement, especially in areas of healthcare need, patients can receive better quality care. #RuralHealthcare #PatientEngagement #DigitalHealthcare

Having focused on provider data quality and network solutions for over 15 years, I've witnessed numerous efforts to enhance the quality of provider network data for consumers. There's still a long road ahead. This article by HealthPayerIntelligence sheds light on the critical issues stemming from inaccurate provider data and its impact on patient care and healthcare delivery. Data accuracy is not just a matter of compliance; it's crucial for building trust and efficiency in our healthcare system. Thank you, HealthPayerIntelligence, for highlighting this pivotal issue and the reasons to stay focused on improving provider data for consumers! #Healthcare #ProviderDataManagement #Credentialing #DataQuality #HealthcareAccess #HealthPayerIntelligence

Collaboration between payers and providers isn't just a matter of convenience—it's a necessity born from the shared goal of patient well-being, highlighted by the need to navigate through the intricate landscape of healthcare transparency. Furthering transparency demands innovative solutions that streamline processes to promise not only cost reductions and efficiency gains but also a fundamental shift towards a more cohesive and patient-centric healthcare ecosystem. #Healthcare #PayerProviderRelationship #PatientExperience

Patient experience is increasingly vital for hospitals and health systems, especially in terms of the revenue cycle. With patients bearing more of their care costs, the healthcare economy is shifting to cater to a patient-consumer market. Patient portals have sped up processes and increased efficiency, allowing patients to take a more active role in their care, including making payments and scheduling appointments. https://buff.ly/3Myvvis #revenuecycle #RCM

The payer-provider relationship nowadays often ends up tense for any number of reasons, and to change that dynamic into a collaborative one, the healthcare system must be driven by trust, transparency, and shared goals. This dynamic leads to better patient outcomes, cost efficiencies, and higher satisfaction for all. As payers and providers adapt to new shifting dynamics, the healthcare landscape can increasingly emphasize preventative care and holistic patient health, potentially leading to more sustainable healthcare systems and improved population health management. #Healthcare #PayerProviderRelationship #PatientHealth
