In the first installment of this series, we examined how patching together disparate patient engagement solutions to satisfy the demands of the modern patient-consumer can mistakenly create a ‘Frankensystem’ that results in disjointed, frustrating experiences for patients and staff. Our second installment followed two fictious patients through their care journey – one who used a Frankensystem and a second that used a patient engagement ‘Masterpiece,’ a cohesive platform of solutions designed to work together from the beginning. We learned how technology can have a profound impact on the patient experience and patients’ decision-making about returning to a provider for care. This final installment in the series will take a closer look at the toll Frankensystems take on the staff that must use them. To that end, we’ll be following the experiences of two healthcare professionals: Franchesca and Mariana. Franchesca’s office uses a Frankensystem while Mariana’s office uses a Masterpiece.

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.

Healthcare consumerism continues to emerge as patients take more personal responsibility for managing their health and covering their medical costs. The National Center for Health Statistics estimates that nearly 40 percent of healthcare consumers are on high-deductible plans, which means patients are taking more money out of their own pockets to pay for medical expenses.
