What Does Patient Engagement Mean? Patient engagement encompasses every experience, encounter, or interaction where the patient engages with your practice. In today's digital age, this often involves patients interacting with online portals, mobile apps, or digital experiences on the practice's devices. Patients may use these tools to schedule appointments, shop for products, watch informational videos, view before-and-after photos, sign consent and intake forms, and review pre- and post-treatment instructions.

Every medical clinic, no matter its size, needs an efficient way to organize patient data. If you have a small, private practice, you may think paper charting or a custom-built record-keeping system suits you just fine —– after all, you don’t have that many records to keep. The truth is, even a small practice can get huge benefits from switching to an EHR. Holding out on this technology is doing a disservice to your patients and leaving money on the table.
