				In the first installment of our Frankensystem series, we introduced how integrating mismatched, disparate patient engagement solutions results in what is known today as the 'Frankensystem.' Although often created unintentionally and with the best intentions to deliver an optimized healthcare experience, Frankensystems are notorious for wreaking havoc on patient engagement. In the second installment in this series, we’ll take a closer look at how Frankensystems impede the patient experience and compare it to that of a patient engagement ‘Masterpiece’—a platform of solutions purpose-built to work cohesively together from the get-go.

				When you’re thinking about improving patient engagement, it’s easy to focus on the effect it will have on your practice alone. The benefits speak for themselves: If you do it well, you’ll get more business, retain more patients, and remain more profitable. On the other hand, if you don’t do it well and patients remain disengaged, they’re likely to find other providers for their healthcare needs—not to mention they might leave you negative reviews, which can damage your practice’s reputation and cause you to lose revenue in the process.

				Patient engagement is important because it directly improves health outcomes while driving growth and sustainability for healthcare providers. Actively engaged patients are more likely to attend appointments, adhere to treatments, and communicate effectively with their providers, all of which contribute to better health and fewer complications. This proactive approach also reduces costs and the demand on healthcare resources, freeing providers to focus on delivering quality care.

				Over the past decade, the term ‘patient engagement’ has shifted from just a buzzword to a fundamental pillar of effective care. This shift reflects a broader transformation in healthcare. The relationship between providers and patients is no longer one-sided. Patients are now active participants in their care, expecting more involvement and control over their healthcare experiences. With easy access to information and a more consumer-driven mindset, patients are researching treatment options, asking more questions, and even challenging their provider’s recommendations.
