Personalized Patient Experience

To deliver access to precision care and support treatment plan adherence, health systems should execute to:

Objective 1: Tailor Digital Patient & Caregiver Education

Use of digitally enabled education modules to improve patient and caregiver understanding of their treatment plan and coverage options can improve shared decision-making and patient financial outcomes after a cancer diagnosis.

The Impact:

One program leveraging the patient portal to provide educational content related found high rates of digital activity: 92% of patients invited had registered for the patient portal and 64% of digital education items sent were read, improving patient outcomes and reducing provider burden.

Objective 2: Integrate Technology & Culturally Sensitive Care

To ensure that digital health solutions do not exacerbate disparities in access to care and financial toxicity, health systems must take care to design infrastructure and policies that enable culturally sensitive care.

Health systems must account for the fact that digital health solution adoption will depend on technology access, abilities, and preferences, and provide options for further support with digital application access and use.
