We always get a lot of questions about when and how to send surveys (i.e., survey timing post-discharge, email vs SMS), which questions to use (i.e., general, or condition-specific validated question sets) and what they should look like to be mobile and patient-friendly. But above all else, the questions we seem to get the most are always: “What ...
Due to the plethora of evidence of the value of transitioning from fee-for-service to value-based funding mechanisms in healthcare, funders/payers are increasingly looking to mechanisms providers are paid based on patient health outcomes. Effectively, this means that rewards are given for helping patients improve their health, reducing readmission rates, adhering to medicine and feeling like the result of ...

For some, asking others about demographic information ...
Patient-Reported Outcome Measures (PROMs) are becoming increasingly popular for payers and regulators to assess the value of services being delivered. This can create tension, if the clinical community feels they are being forced down a particular road that is not conducive to better decision making or that cuts across the relationship between doctor and patient. It doesn’t have ...
