Epion Health – Innovating Best-in-Class Digital Access and Engagement Solutions That Drive Better Clinical and Financial Outcomes

The word healthcare brings images of doctors, nurses, hospitals, and medication. When you get sick or injured, you visit doctors at hospitals, talk to nurses and take medication. But many seem to overlook one crucial aspect of healthcare – the patient. This is where patient engagement comes into the picture. In simple words, patient engagement is the interactions between doctors and patients to help them make informed decisions about their healthcare. A dedicated patient engagement strategy ensures lasting health and better clinical outcomes. Patient portals and patient engagement have improved the quality of care and helped to develop better clinical workflows. They’ve resulted in people who’re aware of their health and make informed lifestyle choices. Seamless, informative doctor-patient communication has reduced healthcare spending and improved patient outcomes. Patient engagement systems have a firm place in the future of healthcare. As technology becomes more pervasive, tools that facilitate doctor-patient engagement will only become more adaptive.

They offer a variety of mobile health applications and content using a cloud based application and content management solution. From patient check-in through check-out, they engage the patient and provide tools to enhance the patient/provider experience.
