Patient engagement tech evolving as consumerization transforms healthcare

Clinicians must meet patients where they are in the ability to be engaged with their care journey and tailor engagement efforts to maximize resources, says Gary Hamilton, CEO of InteliChart, a HIMSS23 exhibitor. As digital health and telemedicine technologies continue to explode, patients are increasingly being drawn into their care in ways unlike ever before. And hospitals and health systems know they must find ways to engage their patients to keep them healthy and satisfied. Gary Hamilton is CEO of InteliChart (HIMSS23 Booth 3406), a vendor of patient engagement tools for healthcare provider organizations of all sizes. The idea behind the technology is to gather actionable data about patient populations and devise solutions to improve outcomes. Healthcare IT News sat down with Hamilton to discuss patient engagement, related technologies and what health IT leaders should be focusing on in the year ahead.
