About digital patient education
Patient education is the ability to supply tailored health education content to the patient throughout the care continuum. Robust patient education offerings provide benefits such as better care plan adherence, improved outcomes, and higher patient satisfaction scores.
Traditionally, patient education has consisted of conversations with providers and paper materials for patients to take home. The leading digital solutions automate and personalize the process, delivering condition-specific health education to patients at the right time and place in their care journey. Ongoing self-service patient education is accessible on demand anywhere, at any time, and can range from web-based health libraries to personalized content on mobile apps.
Full-service patient education solutions fulfill two key roles:
- Content curators that create educational content or source clinically validated material from third-parties.
- Content aggregators that deliver educational materials and engagement opportunities to patients and consumers.
Best-in-class digital education goes beyond delivering relevant information at the right time and provides content that adjusts to accommodate the health needs of individual patients. Personalized education reflects medication regimens, comorbid conditions, health changes, demographic information, and support networks, and is delivered via a patient’s preferred channels at the right time of day in a format that is most accessible to them. Leading solutions continuously track how and when patients consume content to further fine-tune each individual care journey and effectively engage each patient.
We've seen a shift in the market away from solutions that focus solely on content creation and toward solutions that function as content delivery mechanisms. It's important for health systems to understand whether they need more engaging and personalized content, a delivery mechanism, or both. Purchasing decisions should be made within the context of the health system’s digital strategy so that a digital education solution doesn’t become just another siloed ‘thing’ that patients receive. Instead, it should be included as part of their broader care journey throughout the entire health system.
What many of the leading solutions offer:
- Easy-to-understand materials in a variety of formats
- Flexible integrations with EHR systems and other care platforms
- Guided and personalized care journeys
- Interactive and multimodal interfaces
- Clinically validated content that adheres to current standards of care
