Patient Engagement Ecosystem 2023: An Update on Vendor-Reported Capabilities
13 July 23
Amid the pressures of today’s economic environment, healthcare organizations are investing heavily in patient engagement technology to help reduce costs, alleviate staffing challenges, and consolidate technology in other areas. Both provider and payer organizations seek to understand what patient engagement capabilities vendors offer that can meet their core needs. This study (along with additional deep-dive content that will be published on KLAS’ website) is an update to <a href="/report/patient-engagement-ecosystem-2021-how-has-the-industry-progressed/1647" target="_blank"><u style="color:#4c8bc9">KLAS’ 2021 report</u></a> and shows which vendors report the broadest capability sets, which vendors have made the most progress over the last two years, and how the industry as a whole has matured. For reader ease, links to relevant online content are provided where applicable. <strong>Note that the data in this study is based primarily on vendor-reported information,</strong> accompanied by a limited amount of KLAS performance data.

Telehealth & Remote Patient Monitoring Ecosystem 2023
06 July 23    |   Ciera Walker and Schafer Jackson
Telehealth and remote patient monitoring (RPM) solutions have grown in adoption, giving providers new ways to deliver more flexible care. While telehealth adoption especially was initially spurred by COVID-19, energy in both areas continues because of factors like value-based care, staffing shortages, and the desire to make care delivery more flexible and strategic. This report examines the broad ecosystem of telehealth and RPM technology—specifically, vendor-reported breadth and depth of adoption by their provider organization customers.

Patient Communications Landscape 2022
30 June 22    |   Adam Cherrington and Dan Czech
As patients’ expectations have evolved and provider organizations’ technology has matured, the need for quick, easy, ongoing patient/provider communication has become even more prevalent. It is often no longer sufficient to merely push communications to patients (e.g., appointment reminders). This study examines and defines the current landscape of patient communications solutions—including how they are used; how easy they are to set up, customize, and use on an ongoing basis; and what outcomes they are helping organizations to achieve.

Patient Perspectives on Patient Engagement Technology 2022
26 May 22    |   Adam Cherrington and Dan Czech
The pandemic has emphasized the need for healthcare organizations to better accommodate patients’ needs and decrease barriers to effective care. However, patients are frequently absent from discussions around healthcare information technology (HIT). In KLAS’ previous report on the patient perspective , we discovered a lack of alignment between patients’ engagement technology priorities and those of provider organizations and vendors. Since then, KLAS has sought to gain a deeper understanding of what is needed from vendors and providers to drive greater alignment with patients. This report seeks to highlight the patient voice and is one of many KLAS initiatives aimed at more deeply understanding and measuring the patient perspective on HIT.

Digital Front Door 2021
28 September 21    |   Adam Cherrington and Dan Czech
Along with buzzwords like “AI” and “population health,” the term “digital front door” has become more popular but lacks a consensual definition. For this study, KLAS spoke to 27 leading organizations to understand what digital front door means to them, what digital front door strategies and key technologies they use, and what outcomes they have seen. Based on the lessons they have learned along the way, these organizations (most of which use Cerner or Epic for their core EMR) also shared advice for peers seeking to build or improve their digital front door strategies.

Reducing Filters

Unlike sizing filters, reducing filters DO NOT recalculate scores based on the evaluations that meet these requirements. They narrow the list of solutions to show the vendors and solutions that can meet a specific need.

This data is based on interviews with a sample of the firms' recent clients. As a result, it is not necessarily comprehensive of all work a firm may do in this segment.

We require a minimum of 2 confirmations of a service performed in the last 3 years for a solution to qualify.
