A Prescription to End Confusion as 'The degree to which individuals have the capacity to obtain,
process, and understand basic health information and services needed to make appropriate
health decisions
eHealth Initiative
was developed to address the growing need for managing health information and to promote
technology as a means of improving health information exchange, health literacy, and
healthcare delivery.
HCO approach to engagement
to have patient education information stored electronically so that changes can be made as
needed; information can be better tailored to the specific patient situation, then printed out and
reviewed with the patient.
Many HCOs sponsor health promotion education classes as a way of
marketing their facilities and showcasing some of their expert practitioners.
HCOs promote education in waiting rooms via
pamphlet distribution, health promotion programs broadcast on TV, and health information
kiosks.
HCO approaches to education:
- Secure patient portals: allow patients to access their EHRs to track lab results and view
records
- Provide opportunities for peer-to-peer support for people with similar diagnoses
- Increasing use of social media to engage patients
