With a cloud-based patient engagement platform in our EHR, your patients get all the tools they want and more.

What is patient engagement?

Patient engagement means empowering patients with the knowledge, skills, confidence, and willingness to make the best decisions about their health.

Multiple studies in the United States and around the world demonstrate that high patient engagement leads to better health outcomes and lower costs for health care providers. Experts find that good patient engagement increases patient treatment adherence, lowers the need for treatment, and reduces healthcare costs by over 20%.

Significantly improved health outcomes coupled with lowered costs has led some experts to dub patient engagement as “the blockbuster drug of the 21st century.⁵
