Embracing Patient 360 for Improved Health Outcomes

What is Patient 360?

During a typical patient care journey, a patient’s medical details are spread over disparate systems which makes it really tedious for providers to render appropriate services. The struggle to gain a true picture is too real due to these disjointed systems. According to a recent study by Johns Hopkins, there are more than 250,000 medical error-related deaths in the U.S. each year. Hence it is very important that providers have access to the right patient data in the right format at the right time so as to have a cohesive picture of the patient and provide the best possible care.

The term Patient 360 is currently being rampantly used in the healthcare sector and it has never been more important to understand its significance. It simply means that all the stakeholders involved in the patient journey have a complete picture of the patient based on the data collected at different touchpoints. Patient 360 aims to enhance the experience for all the stakeholders as they are able to access patient data when and where they need it and ultimately the patients receive more personalized care. When everyone involved in the patient care journey has the same view of the patient, it results in improved health outcomes and reduced medical errors.

Reasons Why Patient 360 Matters

It is really imperative for healthcare providers to have a complete view of the patient health data in order to provide suitable care. The complete patient view helps providers in understanding their patients better and planning for a personalized care process. In other words, care team members are able to engage with the patients in a better way and align more specifically to individual health goals as required. The single patient view additionally helps in preventing medical errors which is a glaring result of data inconsistency due to multiple systems. With the comprehensive health data in picture, providers can extract insights for better decision making. Besides that, providers can even identify a health risk within a target population and intervene to work towards positive outcomes.

Apart from the positive impact on the patient care journey, Patient 360 has multiple positive impacts on the overall business as well. It helps in increasing productivity by streamlining everyone on the team towards a common goal. All the consolidated data further helps in creating targeted marketing campaigns to retain existing patients and effectively acquire new ones.
