Savvy healthcare marketers can use this data to attract new patients, improve care and collaborate with other healthcare professional. Learn how the patients of today and tomorrow are using technology as a key part of their healthcare and how you can be a bigger part of the Digital Patient Journey.
Give Me Your Data, And I will Diagnose YouMaria Wolters
Maria Wolters discusses the challenges of using data-driven methods for medical diagnosis and screening. While technology promises objective diagnosis, evidence-based medicine shows diagnostic tests have uncertainties. Case studies demonstrate how true positives can disrupt peoples' lives and identities, while false positives cause distress. Any data-driven health solution must consider a person's context, priorities and coping strategies, and have strong evidence that the benefits outweigh the harms. Diagnosis and screening also require supporting people through complex emotional impacts. Overall, health technologies must first do no harm, respect the individual, and be grounded in scientific evidence.
This document summarizes research on improving diabetes care for veterans through better digital communication and addressing health literacy issues. It discusses the growing problem of diabetes, especially among veterans and those with low health literacy. Studies at a VA medical center found poor control of diabetes measures like HbA1c and high dropout rates from education programs. The document proposes using surveys to assess individual patients' and clinicians' attitudes and tailoring communication based on clustering analyses. The goal is to improve doctor-patient communication through content tailored to health literacy levels and attitudinal types.
The document summarizes the Doctors 2.0 & You Conference 2014 in Paris which discussed how technologies, web 2.0 tools, apps, and social media are changing relationships in healthcare.

Presenters discussed how digital is both disrupting and empowering medicine by facilitating connected communities, data sharing for research, and patient-centered care through tools like telemedicine and online education. Social media was highlighted as an important tool for participatory medicine by stimulating earlier collaboration and research dissemination.
Shared decision making: Changing the relationship between doctor and patientMarkus Oei
This document discusses shared decision making between doctors and patients. It defines shared decision making as a process where doctors and patients make medical decisions together by considering evidence-based treatment options, their risks and benefits, and the patient's values and preferences. The document notes that while shared decision making improves health outcomes, many patients are not aware they have treatment choices and doctors do not always discuss patient preferences. It argues we need decision support tools, reliable patient information from various sources, and ways to effectively deliver this information to patients to facilitate shared decision making in clinical practice.
After hearing the perspectives of patients, providers and leaders from Indigenous communities on how they perceive safety and what solutions are/ can be implemented, we will leave the session with at least one practical idea for engaging all patients, families and/or the public in improving patient safety.
The document discusses complex patient journeys and tools to impact them. It begins by defining key dimensions and inflection points of patient journeys. Dimensions include the healthcare, disease/therapy, and human journeys. Inflection points are moments where outcomes are predicted. Behavioral science and cognitive-behavioral therapy can be used to intervene at these points by addressing cognitive, emotional, and behavioral barriers. A case study examines using these tools to help appropriate diabetes patients initiate insulin injections by addressing a patient's needle anxiety through cognitive reframing and desensitization exercises.
Shared decision making involves doctors sharing information with patients about treatment options so patients can consider their options and make decisions together with their doctors. Decision aids like brochures and websites provide information to help patients make informed decisions by clarifying their values and preferences and guiding communication with doctors. Studies show decision aids increase patient knowledge and participation, align choices with values, and lower surgery rates without worse outcomes. Group Health implemented decision aid use for several conditions and is evaluating the impact on surgery rates, costs, and patient and provider experiences and identifying areas for improvement.
This document discusses the importance of doctors spending adequate time with patients. It notes that while appointment lengths have increased slightly in recent decades, many patients still feel their needs are not fully addressed in short consultations. The document recommends expanding appointment times to improve patient health outcomes and satisfaction in several ways. First, longer visits allow doctors to provide more preventive care advice, screenings, and health education. Second, they enable doctors to fully understand patients' health concerns and priorities through active listening. Third, preventive care and lifestyle counseling can help avert future acute illnesses and costly medical interventions. The document argues expanded appointment times offer medical, financial, and strategic benefits for healthcare practices.
98% of Patients Cannot Recall Their Surgical RisksJim Cucinotta

3. “THEY UNDERSTAND!” “WE UNDERSTAND!”
….NOT SO MUCH!
Physicians tend to overestimate their own
communicative effectiveness (Broquet &
Punwani, 2012; Dahm, Yates, Ogden,
Rooney, & Sheldon, 2015; Lineberry et al.,
2015).
In one ER discharge study, 78% percent of
patients misunderstood at least one aspect
of their care instructions…only 20% of these
patients perceived their own difficulties!
(Engel et al., 2009).
Topic familiarity and Kruger-Dunning
effect may explain much of this.
4. COMMUNICATION MATTERS
Effective communicationhas been associated with…
Quicker, more accurate diagnoses
Positive patient outcomes/survival
Improved patient emotional health
Improved satisfaction for patients and doctors both

8. 1. ALLOW FOR NOTICING
“How many times
did you get feedback
during your GME?”
“I only got feedback
once.”
Notice and try out in a
supportive environment
(Krashen).
9. II. NEED TO BE CONTEXTUALIZED AND MEANINGFUL
Medical educator: The OBGYN
resident didn’t know how to –and
wouldn’t – describe a women’s last
menstrual period. “What am I
supposed to do with that?!”
Literature suggests everyday
patient speak is a major difficulty of
IMGs.
10. III. NEEDS TO BE POSITIVE
“People learn to avoid the
things they are hit with”
(Mager and Pipe)
Avoid “extra” work
Online
Avoid humiliation; make it
private Online
“Most of the time I preferred not
to talk…there was this sense of
shame and ‘what if’.”
11. “WE HAVE BIGGER PROBLEMS.”
“YOU WON’T MAKE ANY MONEY AT THAT.”
Graphic from
Knight, Emily. Indiana University
School of Medicine
"It can be argued that physicians are
a much more efficient target of
interventions than patients. After all,
an intervention that changes a single
physician's behavior is likely to affect
thousands of patients each year.
While is has long been assumed that
physicians inevitably develop
whatever communication skill they
may need naturally or through
experience, medial educators now
agree training is necessary" (Roter,
2006, p. 176).
