Picture a community. Picture a connected community… a community connected with computers, electronic tablets, and smartphones. In this community, young and old, rich and not so rich, male and female, people of all colors have access to their health records and communicate with their health care providers using convenient mobile devices. Information is easily and quickly shared, yet patient privacy is maintained.
Within this community communications network, rewards are built into the system to recognize and encourage positive, responsible, healthy behaviors. Whether at home, at work, or play, test results are shared with the patient, a concerned relative, and the insurance provider… all from a simple click of a button on the doctor’s computer.
Let’s take a look at this community…
GetWellNetwork – The Future of Patient Engagement
GetWell:)Anywhere – The future of patient engagement at work, play and home. GetWellNetwork’s vision goes far beyond the walls of the hospital to providing patient engagement solutions across the continuum of care.
Mobile health applications and solutions links this community together. mHealth is the essential tool in the hands of all community members- the hospital, the physician, the patient, the concerned friends and relatives of the patient.
Patient engagement goes beyond a mandate within The Affordable Care Act. With mobile phones, devices, and apps connecting health care information and people, the tools are available to build a better, healthier future for all.
