Engaging Patients In The Healthcare Process: A Case Study
Discuss your thoughts on how healthcare organizations and clinicians can go about engaging patients in the healthcare process. How does HIT play a role in this process?

For anyone visiting a doctor it’s understood that time is limited with the typical visit between 13-16 minutes (Brodwin & Radovanovic, 2016). It’s just enough time to describe your health issue, have a short examination, receive a diagnosis or prescription, and be on your way. With a complex healthcare system, many people have a difficult time in obtaining and processing health information. Sometimes basic information and available services aren’t fully communicated to the patient, making them illiterate in understanding their medical situation and leaving

    Today I recorded a video with Rita Ganong as she described her interactions with a healthcare provider and what proved to be challenging for her.

She realized after waiting over a period of time, the office was closed. She was completed frustrated after rearranging her schedule and leaving work early with the expectation of having her consultation.…

    Concierge Medicine

    Medicine has changed in the past years in many ways. With the change and inventions of new cures, technology, and less invasive procedures, medicine has become a whole different world. Though there has been many enhancements that increase the productivity and treatment outcomes in medicine, the delivery method and care has changed along with it, and not for always for the best. Hospitals are what people find security and safety from all illness and diseases they have come across, but with the change of the economy and budget cuts, the first thing to cut is patient care and service. When people think of hospitals they think of long lines, waiting for hours for a simple procedure or question, medications that aren’t helpful and no care or relationship with the doctor. Patients get less time with physicians and more time with physician assistants and nurses. Many hospitals and clinics have made it known at the first meeting that after the initial appointment, the remainder of appointments will be either with the nurse practitioner or physician assistant. With less care and relationship from the physician, patients start to wonder why pay high dollar for less service, and that’s where the issue arises.…

    Low Health Literacy

    What if you found yourself going for a regular check up with your Primary Medical Doctor (PMD) and you were unable to understand the conversation? Better yet, what if you misconstrued very important information related to your treatment regimen? “It costs the public health system $18.2 million a year in misdirected or misunderstood health-care services” (Bryant, 2011, p. 7). The fact is that for millions, poor health literacy is a barrier to accessing health services and information. Low health literacy is a risk factor that can lead to poor patient outcomes. According to the World Health Organization health literacy is defined as “the cognitive and social skills which determine the motivation and ability of individuals to gain access to, understand, and use information in ways that promote and maintain good health”(WHO, 2012).…

    Customer Driven Health Care

    Customer Driven Health Care

    Customer-driven health care (CDHC), refers to third tier health insurance plans that allow members to use health savings accounts (HSAs), Health Reimbursement Accounts (HRAs), or similar medical payment products to pay routine health care expenses directly, while a high-deductible health plan protects them from catastrophic medical expenses. I am against CDHC for a couple of reasons. The term customer-driven, in my opinion, is incorrectly used. First of all, it is not customer-driven but shifting the cost of health care onto the patient’s back. Even employers are happy with the CDHC for it means that they can shift more of the premium onto the employee. Secondly, for those people with chronic illnesses, such as diabetes, with a deductible of $3,000 to $4,000, such people will never be able to save anything in their savings accounts; (HRA’s or HSA’s)…

    Patients have the ability to leave their providers if they are not happy with them or they can voice their opinions in an attempt to change the care. A strategy for patient satisfaction is through a variety of surveys. The surveys are provided so that patients can rate them and voice any concerns about the care of the clinic. It shows patients that the healthcare facility actually cares. Surveys can be done at the healthcare facility, through email or letter, or even through the phone. The data is then gathered and observed and the…

    Health Literacy In Health Care

    It is important that health care providers have great health literacy to communicate with other health care providers. While patients are less likely to have the education and qualifications to be able to understand health literacy. 90 million Americans have limited English and math skills enabling them to use the health care system (IOM, 2007). This is a scary statistic because that is more than half of the general health population. Since these members of the community are unable to understand the health language they end up over dosing or taking the wrong medication, and in result have to go to the hospital or the emergency room. It is not only difficult to understand health literacy on prescriptions, hospital signs but food labels as well.…
