Patient engagement impacts patient financial health and satisfaction as well as the cost of delivering care and the revenue cycle. Patients satisfied with their care are more likely to follow treatment plans than those who are not. Patients failing to adhere to their treatment plans have a higher likelihood of being readmitted due to complications and can end up costing the provider more money or result in delayed payment.

When it comes to patient preferences regarding accessing their accounts and paying their medical bills, 50% of patients like engaging digitally; however, 50% prefer a personal touch, according to internal Meduit research. In addition, about half of those who engage digitally become confused and need help. Non-digital and digital-only solutions are both missing the mark. Comprehensive solutions are the ONLY way to engage patients to drive the revenue cycle and a positive patient financial experience.

A robust patient engagement strategy should include:

• Services provided by a patient-focused team that treats patients with respect
• Digital patient engagement tools that empower patients to access their information and pay medical bills easily and conveniently
• Tech-powered solutions that consistently evaluate and measure patient encounters in order to continually improve the patient financial experience
