This educational activity consists of recorded presentations from 20th Annual National Conference held in Minneapolis, Minnesota on October 4-6, 2011.
How can we ensure that consumers have the tools and information they need to play an active role in managing their care? Based on research completed by the Robert Woods Johnson Foundation and AcademyHealth, key findings show that consumer engagement holds great potential to spur health quality improvements but must not be viewed as a silver bullet answer to this issue. Consumers have neither the power nor the skills to transform health care systems on their own. This session will address how change will require a joint effort on the part of consumers, providers, payers, insurers and policymakers.
Learning Objectives
At the end of this educational activity, participants should be able to
- State the barriers to consumer engagement in health care.
- Recognize how consumers and providers must adopt best practices in consumer engagement, including the use of social media and mobile devices.
