Patient Education 2024: An Initial Look at Vendors Who Create & Deliver Patient Education Content

04 September 24

Patient education solutions are an increasing focus for healthcare organizations looking to deliver more patient-centric care, as these solutions provide patients with crucial information to help them navigate diagnoses or upcoming procedures. While some organizations produce their own educational content that is then housed in a vendor’s solution (e.g., portal, interactive patient system), <strong>the focus of this report is on patient education vendors who create and deliver content to organizations</strong>. Generally, healthcare organizations are satisfied as they feel their vendors offer reliable, digestible content and reduce the operational burden, though the use of multiple solutions is common to meet all needs. This report—KLAS’ first focused on patient education solutions—(1) examines customer satisfaction with patient education vendors and their provided content and (2) shares insights into the patient education market.

Two critical components of comprehensive patient care—healthcare education and patient engagement—empower patients to make informed health decisions and better prepare for treatment. Effectively providing education and measuring patients’ usage is essential for healthcare organizations, especially in improving quality, safety, and the patient experience. Mytonomy Cloud for Healthcare is a patient education and engagement platform with original and tailored clinical content that aims to improve patients’ education experience. This report examines feedback from several Mytonomy customers.

In an increasingly digital world, the healthcare industry continues to face increased costs and labor shortages. Patient engagement technology is top of mind for healthcare organizations as they work to improve the overall patient experience, increase volumes, cut costs, and create more provider efficiencies. In collaboration with Bain & Company , KLAS recently identified patient engagement as a top-three priority for healthcare investment. For this report, KLAS engaged with executives from 93 unique healthcare organizations to better understand perceptions of the patient engagement market, including strategies for addressing challenges and goals today, which vendors are most aligned with provider goals, and future plans for investment to improve patient engagement.

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 KLAS’ 2021 report 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. Note that the data in this study is based primarily on vendor-reported information, accompanied by a limited amount of KLAS performance data.
