Utah Beacon Consumer Engagement

In the Clinic  Outside the Clinic A ratio problem: 1% to 99% How can we support patients beyond the physician office to improve self care and diabetes management? “Look, it’s very simple: Lose weight, take your meds, stop smoking, eat right…and try not to be so depressed about it.” Easy, right? Great, see you in six months! ?

Behavior Change: The $3 Trillion Dollar Question How can we leverage technology to help patients change behaviors? How can we improve health care decision making – from choice of a health plan to daily self-care practices?

Beacon Patient Engagement Tools Performance reporting Web site Support patient healthcare decision making Diabetes tracking Web tools Organize, simplify care regimens Provide ongoing, data-driven feedback to pt Improve self-tracking and focus on improvement Smartphone innovations Can we make tracking and self management fun??? Mobile Health “Care Manager-lite” Cost-effective Address health disparities
