Reimagining Primary Care to reduce healthcare cost
Reimagining primary care may drive the change we need in patient communication.
Reimagining primary care may drive the change we need in patient communication.
The insertion of promotional messaging into transactional communications opened the door for the highly personalized communications we see today.
Consumer-oriented marketing messaging is focused on stimulating action or removing barriers. Healthcare communications struggle to do the same, especially for chronically ill patient populations.
Modern print technology costs a fraction of the original production digital printers. Add in vastly improved print quality, powerful personalization capabilities and low operating costs and you’ll understand why printed communications are here to stay.
Effective healthcare communications improve health literacy. Chronically ill patients who are effective at managing their own health use less healthcare resources. We can lower healthcare costs by improving clinical processes, but we cannot ignore the potential of effective communications.
Health systems are incented to coordinate care in chronically ill patient populations. We need the same focus on coordinated communications.
Using Social Network Analysis to study patient communications may provide real value in situations where the clinical support is fragmented. The right application will identify communication opportunities that improve patient health literacy.
Home computers and dial up internet access started a massive change in how we communicate. Transactional and Promotional communications were forever changed.
Digital production printers utterly shattered the status quo use of line printers and redefined the approach to transactional print.
Social Network Analysis looks at social structures to analyze the connections and the flow of information. This is critical for coordinated care. How about healthcare communications?
