Beyond Dr Google: Accelerating Technology Use in Patients’ Education & Engagements.

Limited access to patient education opens the door for patients to Google their questions and be exposed to medical misinformation.

“50% of Patients Forget Treatment Plans, We Need Better Patient Education.”

Is it actually possible for patients to remember all of the information communicated during a medical appointment? The data shows that patients only remember about 49%. They turn to social media to try and find the missing essential information.

According to a 2024 YouGov and Healthline Media poll, only 37% of American patients consider their doctor as their preferred choice for health information and education. This number is lower than the number of patients that trust health information from social media.

At Visbilti Health, we believe that enhanced skills building and reinforcement in patient education can significantly sharpen patients’ understanding and ability to manage their condition, leading to better health outcomes.

Mayo Clinic research in 2020 found that heart failure patients with lower levels of health literacy saw higher hospital admission and mortality rates. They concluded, that it is critical to allocate more resources for research and interventions to improve health literacy. The study was authored by Lila J. Finney Rutten, PhD, professor of health services research in the Department of Health Sciences at Mayo Clinic in Rochester, Minnesota.

Patient Education, Plus Strong Digital Skills, Engenders Better Outcomes

Healthcare executives are making significant investments into innovations to try to automate and optimize their healthcare delivery. Hence, the rush to adopt artificial intelligence (AI). However, in order for patients to benefit, healthcare stakeholders need to understand patient education in a new way. Because, without robust patient education, engagement will continue to be low.

As healthcare information is increasingly digitized, patients need strong digital skills to access, understand, and act on health information.
