Patient-centered healthcare via patient-generated health data

Clarifying the patient picture as the volume of consumer-driven information increases

Hospital and health system executives are developing and implementing new tactics to meet the healthcare industry's core strategic need: a higher value of care at a lower cost.

As a result, patient-generated health data (PGHD) has the potential to change clinical delivery from a haphazard and episodic model to one based on the availability of real-time data. However, the US healthcare system is facing a variety of challenges that make it difficult for patients and providers to benefit from the increased flow of PGHD.

Key learning objectives:

• the operations and incentives needed to capitalize on PGHD;
• the market forces and players influencing the future of PGHD;
• the results and demonstrated value of PGHD from the successors and failures.
