Improving health outcomes through patient education with Michael Boerner

A conversation with Michael Boerner

About this episode

40-80% of the medical information provided by healthcare practitioners is forgotten immediately. The greater the amount of information presented, the lower the proportion correctly recalled; furthermore, almost half of the information that is remembered is incorrect. (National Library of Medicine) There are multiple reasons, why and this highlights why the right patient education is important. In this episode, I speak with Michael Boerner, CEO, and Founder of Engage Technologies.

We discuss:

  • How patient education can be improved.
  • Is it a messaging issue, participation issue, or both?
  • Can the right messaging improve patient trust?
