Patient engagement offers a multitude of benefits for both patients and healthcare providers. Here are some of the key benefits:

  • Improved health outcomes: Engaged patients are more likely to adhere to treatment plans, follow medication instructions, and adopt healthy lifestyle habits, leading to better health outcomes and reduced healthcare costs.
  • Enhanced patient satisfaction: Engaging patients fosters trust and communication, which leads to increased satisfaction with their healthcare experience.
  • Reduced healthcare costs: By preventing complications, unnecessary hospitalizations, and emergency room visits, patient engagement can significantly reduce healthcare costs.
  • Strengthened patient-provider relationships: Patient engagement fosters open dialogue and collaboration between patients and providers, leading to stronger patient-provider relationships.

A tremendous value that Pragmatic Coders brings to the table is that when we submit a user story, they don’t just take it and start working on it. They conduct a comprehensive internal review of the user story and come back with questions that push us to think of aspects that we didn’t consider. They really challenge us so that we don’t miss any requirements or make assumptions in our user stories.
