Abstract

Information technology has enabled healthcare providers such as hospitals to extend their internal operations into external facilities such as urgent and ambulatory care centers and optimizeresources in support of patient care. With the development of the internet, social media, wearables, and telehealth technologies, the potential for patient engagement in preventive and post-discharge care transition has increased. Unlike other organizations where the provider has limited insight into the customer ecosystem, hospitals, for example, have an opportunity to gain insight into the patient ecosystem and influence patient behavior while the patients are within the provider ecosystem. This chapter looks at hospital engagement with patients in two settings—the emergency room (ER) and the patient room (PR)—to illustrate both the opportunities and the strategies that can help hospitals use patient touchpoints to improve continuity of care inside and outside hospital walls.
