The Power of Advanced Communication Approaches

Unlocking Patient Engagement - The Power of Advanced Communication Approaches - header transparent

Creating a successful patient communications plan is a critical aspect of how healthcare providers engage with their patients. Today’s U.S. healthcare patients are willing to switch providers when their needs and expectations are not met. To better understand what drives effective patient communication, the Artera Data Insights team conducted a messaging analysis which explored the following questions:

  • What are the components of effective patient communication?
  • Which messages deliver high levels of patient engagement?
  • What communication best practices should providers deploy to meet the communications expectations of patients?

In a six-month long study, Artera Data Insights conducted an extensive analysis of over two billion patient outreaches, encompassing more than 750 healthcare provider organizations, to gain insights into the factors influencing patient engagement.
