As pressure mounts to include patients in improving their health outcomes, patient engagement strategies have

become a priority for many healthcare companies. However, there has been no clear vision of what patient

engagement looks like in today’s world of value-based care.

Overwhelmed by the requirement to implement an EHR systems, patient engagement has been a lower priority for

IT. Some organizations have anointed a patient advocate. Others launched pilot programs that, without focus and

commitment, delivered marginal improvements. Only a few have made patient engagement a strategic initiative

core to the company’s long-term success.

In the midst of this chaos there is tremendous opportunity for organizations to transform patient relationships.

People will only use one system to manage their health. If it is your system, you own a deep, direct patient

relationship – for life. Customer relationship software has improved relationships and reduced costs in most

industries. Similar technology will work for patient engagement in healthcare as well.

Organizations that get it right will improve outcomes, reduce costs, and gain a strategic advantage.

This report charts a path through the chaos. Discover key factors for success including:

• What is patient engagement, and why does success come from taking the patient’s perspective?

• How to identify, capture and report on outcome data that is the foundation of value-based care.

• Build, buy or partner? Questions to consider for building a single, integrated solution.

• An implementation plan of how to bridge the gap between chaos and the rewards of better patient outcomes.

• How to build sticky patient relationships that quickly improve behavior.

• Finally, how to get started; now.

Closing the

Patient Engagement Gap

• Improved outcomes.• Real-time insights into patient

behavior.• Optimal medication

compliance. • Early intervention.• Increased patient loyalty.• Clinical trial recruiting.• Inexpensive direct patient

communications.• Improved care coordination.• Readmission reductions.• Easier disease management.• Reduced care costs.• Motivate patients towards

healthier behavior.

Today’s Confusion

• Is it really necessary?• Build, buy, partner?• Where, when, how to start?• How to measure ROI?• How to comply with

regulations.• What features matter most?• Core strategy or marketing

program?• Which patient populations

can benefit the most?• What will it cost? Now, and

in the future?• Why will it work when

other programs have failed? • What outcome data matters,

and how to collect it.

Bridge the gap with a patient relationship management platform.

Your patient engagement strategy must fit the needs of the patient. In the end, the solution is about them, not you. No matter how beautiful, technical, or medically sophisticated your application is, if patients don’t use it, your investment is wasted. To increase stickiness take into consideration:

• Value to the user. Does it solve a problem they have? To be adopted, your solution must enhance the life of the user.

• Ease of use. Follow the KISS (keep-it-simple-stupid) principle. From sign-up, to access, data export, integration and cancellation, create a seamless process.

• Flexibility. One size does not fit all.

• Start Now. Patients will only use one patient engagement platform. Make it yours and you own the relationship for life.

• Continual Enhancements. The current rate of technology change, especially in healthcare, is unprecedented. As soon as your platform is launched it will be outdated. Plan in advance for new features, new devices, new competitors.

There is a strong correlation between feature adoption and customer loyalty. To build sticky relationships:

• Provide engagement options. When it comes to changing patient behaviors there is no silver bullet.

• Allow users to begin engagement with features that matter the most to them. Add additional features over time.

• Bridge the knowledge gap and cultivate deeper engagement through continual, multi-channel education/ marketing.

• Promote functionality that delivers the greatest ROI for you. For example, medication compliance.

• Support leading platforms and technologies.

• Follow the KISS principal. Integrate all features/functionality into a single platform with single sign-on for a seamless experience.

• Listen and add functionality based on user feedback.

Include all

Stakeholders from

Day 1

• If not already in place, establish consensus on what compliance means for your organization.

• Utilize a formal approval process.

• Establish quarterly review.

• Plan for internal and external training.

• Anticipate change, and proactive response.

Select a Flexible,

Knowledgeable

Partner

• Choose a partner that understands your regulatory environment (ieHIPAA, FDA, OIG)

• Technology must be able to adjust to established standards, unique corporate requirements.

• Find a partner that can creatively balance compliance with usability.

• Document all processes.

Build in Plenty

of Extra Time

• Regulations add time and expense to a project. Plan accordingly.

• Batch project for routine regulatory review. The typical agile development does not work.

• Plan for 3x the resources of other industries

• Start small, learn, grow.

How to Work Within

Your Regulatory

Environment

• First do a concept review with the Regulatory Team.

• Set up weekly meetings with your Compliance lead. Talk through project ideas, steps – this will breed familiarity and provides a less formal space to prepare for more formal meetings.

Initiative How Implementers Worked with Internal Compliance Teams

Sanofi Community

Health Partnership

Description: Enterprise wide, 90% unbranded, multi-channeled, field-driven, community-based patient centered initiative. Therapeutic areas – hypertension, diabetes, deep vein thrombosis, insomnia, and peripheral vascular disease

Issues and SolutionsApplication of health literacy principals . Existing OPDP approved marketing materials, product branding elements and language are usually not patient-friendly. The branded materials were redone with health literacy in mind. The brand and compliance teams were taught the principles and rationale and, eventually, understood the value. Of changing fonts, use of white space, etc.

How close can the field team get to patients? The two issues here are how to handle adverse events reporting and how to adhere to HIPAA regulations. AEs are discussed in the example below. The field based team was eventually allowed to speak directly to patients once a training program was designed to help manage questions from patient groups ,ie – do not discuss any treatments at all, company-owned drugs.

Leading pharma

manufacturer

Description: Global, enterprise-wide patient support program includes co-pay card, nurse/customer service center, branded & unbranded patient engagement digital platform. Therapeutic areas – plaque psoriasis, actinic keratosis

Issues and SolutionsDigital platform approval. Best to break down into small chunks to appear on approval team agenda weekly. This helped the review team to digest the information and get comfortable with the digital space.

How to manage adverse events reporting . Ensure your partner is trained in your company’s AE reporting process.. Historically, according to a recent Neilson report, the actual incidence AEs mentioned in social media is rare.

Patient engagement is not just for rare diseases or those treated with specialty drugs. Below are two programs developed to support common and chronic diseases.
