Patient Engagement Technology an Innovative Tool for Healthcare Industry

Patient engagement Technology - An innovative tool for healthcare industry, end user market trends and analysis- [Pricing, Replacement Trends, Selection Criteria, and Buying Behavior]”

Selection of right patient engagement technology is critical for healthcare organizations/providers and is dependent on number of factors such as cost of the patient engagement solution, aligned functionality, integration capability, vendor’s reputation, accessibility and ease of use, security, among others. The selection of a patient engagement technology must be made based on the organization’s strategic plan and objectives for implementation.


Cost of patient engagement technology was indicated as the most significant criteria for selection by providers majorly due to budgetary constraints in the hospitals especially small to mid-sized hospitals. This is because many healthcare systems lack the necessary budget to implement patient engagement technology. Implementation of patient engagement technology may require pre-established healthcare information technology (Healthcare IT) infrastructure. Lack of healthcare IT infrastructure is likely to increase the budget of implementation of patient engagement technology.

Integration capabilities were labeled as the second most critical factor for selection by providers. This is because patient engagement technology that can be bundled or integrated with an EMR or EHR system or any other existing systems not only saves providers time and money, but it also eliminates the need to invest in a new vendor relationship, learn a new system and build interfaces.



Other factors such as vendor’s reputation, accessibility and ease of use, security, and allied functionalities also play a crucial role in the overall purchase mechanism of patient engagement. Vendors in the market need to focus on these factors in order to increase their customer base and establish a strong foothold in the market.
