Patient engagement is important because it directly improves health outcomes while driving growth and sustainability for healthcare providers. Actively engaged patients are more likely to attend appointments, adhere to treatments, and communicate effectively with their providers, all of which contribute to better health and fewer complications. This proactive approach also reduces costs and the demand on healthcare resources, freeing providers to focus on delivering quality care.

Over the past decade, the term ‘patient engagement’ has shifted from just a buzzword to a fundamental pillar of effective care. This shift reflects a broader transformation in healthcare. The relationship between providers and patients is no longer one-sided. Patients are now active participants in their care, expecting more involvement and control over their healthcare experiences. With easy access to information and a more consumer-driven mindset, patients are researching treatment options, asking more questions, and even challenging their provider’s recommendations.

In the first installment of this series, we examined how patching together disparate patient engagement solutions to satisfy the demands of the modern patient-consumer can mistakenly create a ‘Frankensystem’ that results in disjointed, frustrating experiences for patients and staff. Our second installment followed two fictious patients through their care journey – one who used a Frankensystem and a second that used a patient engagement ‘Masterpiece,’ a cohesive platform of solutions designed to work together from the beginning. We learned how technology can have a profound impact on the patient experience and patients’ decision-making about returning to a provider for care. This final installment in the series will take a closer look at the toll Frankensystems take on the staff that must use them. To that end, we’ll be following the experiences of two healthcare professionals: Franchesca and Mariana. Franchesca’s office uses a Frankensystem while Mariana’s office uses a Masterpiece.

In the first installment of our Frankensystem series, we introduced how integrating mismatched, disparate patient engagement solutions results in what is known today as the 'Frankensystem.' Although often created unintentionally and with the best intentions to deliver an optimized healthcare experience, Frankensystems are notorious for wreaking havoc on patient engagement. In the second installment in this series, we’ll take a closer look at how Frankensystems impede the patient experience and compare it to that of a patient engagement ‘Masterpiece’—a platform of solutions purpose-built to work cohesively together from the get-go.
