Today’s issue of WorkCompRecap features Paradigm’s announcement of a new complimentary webinar on patient engagement, noting that patients who feel engaged, supported, and educated are more likely to be invested in their care and reach superior clinical and functional outcomes, which has led to increased efforts to drive patient engagement and activation.
In the webinar an expert panel will discuss how health care and claims professionals in both workers’ comp and general health should think about the strategies and technologies that effectively increase engagement and how to integrate them effectively in the care journey. Clinical and product experts will explore the overall concept of patient engagement and its importance in health care; how to increase knowledge around the ways patient engagement impacts the care process, including functional status and outcomes; major workers’ compensation-specific barriers that lead to patient dissatisfaction; and strategies and technologies that effectively increase engagement.
