When Patients Aren’t Engaged
• Higher Costs for patients with lower Patient Activation Measure scores (PAM)
• 32% of ordered tests are duplicates because the results are not available
• Patients give incorrect or incomplete medication lists 39% of the time in the ER
• 70-80% of diagnoses can be made from the patient’s story alone
• 60-80% of what the patient is told at a visit is forgotten within 3 days.
