Using a picture and visual graphics to represent data and information is called an infographic. It is a great way to display statistical data that shows comparisons or charts that come from research and reports. In these Patient Engagement infographics, see how patients are engaging through social media, how individual patients value digital services, how to improve patient engagement, & how healthcare has gone social. See other infographics we have featured.

Study: Patients Value Digital Services When Choosing Physicians
Patient engagement is one of the defining trends in U.S. healthcare. Yet, despite the healthcare industry’s continued focus on it, most practices have not yet fully adopted digital services such online bill pay and appointment scheduling. Recent federal requirements related to EHR adoption and Meaningful Use Stage 2 have begun to change this. However, the federal government is not the only incentive for change. TechnologyAdvice’s survey of recent U.S. patients suggests that many individual patients value digital services, and take them into account when choosing a healthcare provider. See the complete infographic for some of the study’s key findings.

Improving Patient Engagement in Healthcare
As you know, each patient is unique and there’s no one-size-fits-all formula for driving engagement. However, figuring out what motivates your patients is a good place to start. We live in a time where patient engagement can be directly linked to morbidity. Getting patients to change their behavior and participate in the management of their own health isn’t just important; it can be a matter of life and death.

The Healthcare Social Shake Up
Whether you believe the interest from the healthcare industry in social media is being driven by consumers, providers or a little bit of both (we’d go with the latter), one thing everyone can agree on is this: Social media is here to stay. In fact, hospitals, clinical practices and physicians of all ages are becoming more and more active on social media. And if we’re talking about patients, you’ll find this stat pretty revealing — 72% of all Internet users are active social media users. Why? To be better engaged and more active participants in their own healthcare. See the complete infographic to see that healthcare has offically gone social.
