Notifications and messages convey a health system’s concern about patient well-being. Luckily, automated text messages cost less than a penny per message that’s five times less than the cost of a first-class US postage stamp. With tight budgets, hospitals may lack the capital to invest in technology to enhance patient experience. As a result of the pandemic, hospitals are experiencing detrimental revenue decline.
The most effective precision nudges are through text messages. Vendors like CareCentra, Lirio, and Mytonomy are starting to build out precision-nudging capabilities that providers can leverage to deliver proactive communication to patients at their time of need and their location. The Benefits: Precision Nudging In Action The act of notifying or sending a message that prompts action by the patient to overcome patient-specific barriers to action at the right time and place for scalable, sustained behavior change. So, what is precision nudging? Forrester defines precision nudging as: Among other initiatives, the phrase “precision nudging” pops up in conversations routinely. Notifications that nudge the patient and remind them to take a key action are the most practical vehicle to do so.Īt Forrester, we talk to leading healthcare organizations (HCOs) and vendors daily and ask what they are doing to improve patient experience. The bottom line: Patient engagement is essential for better outcomes. Communication that reaches patients in their moment of need can be a critical factor in preventing an avoidable trip to the emergency room, a life-threatening missed dose of medication for someone with a chronic illness, or even a mental health patient’s attempt to die by suicide. Providers can (and should) use text messages to support this initiative, to improve patient engagement, and to ultimately drive better patient outcomes. One of the key trends we see in the healthcare industry is the push towards proactive and preemptive patient care. Today, healthcare providers rely too heavily on patient portals to communicate with patients, as Forrester data shows that consumers (76%) are satisfied with receiving medical care or advice via text message.
l clicked the “forgot my password” link and schlepped through the cumbersome process that is all too familiar. I proceeded to log into the portal only to find I had forgotten my password. Today, I received an email that my physician left a message for me in my patient portal.
