Leveraging New Technologies to Increase Consumer Engagement is proudly presented to you by National Association for Home Care & Hospice. Thank you. We hope that you enjoy your course.
Description:
Effective communication with patients and families, via the right channels, at the right time, is a powerful driver of client satisfaction and positive care outcomes. However, the time commitment involved in recurring check-ins, schedule coordination with clients and caregivers, responses to follow-up questions raised during visits, monitoring medication, and securing physician authorizations all add pressure on already overstretched staff. This session will share proven technologies your agency can deploy to increase the flow of important information. Presented within the context of actual agency workflows, the session will target integrated strategies enabled through technologies such as HIPAA-compliant texting, AI-powered chatbots delivering secure messaging through text links, and effective use of telehealth/virtual visits. The session will conclude with actionable next steps for successful deployment of smart technology for enhanced consumer engagement and better health outcomes.
