How Patients Think: A Science-Based Strategy for Patient Engagement and Population Health

By Andrea LaFountain

Book Overview

How Patients Think is a refreshing look at the heart of healthcare?--the patient. Dr. LaFountain discusses how improvements in health and wealth are constrained by outdated approaches to patient management. She presents a scientific basis for understanding the complexities of patient decision-making regarding one of the most crippling problems facing the healthcare industry today--patient disengagement. LaFountain argues that a radical change in how we approach patient and population management is in order if we are to see measurable impact on health outcomes or costs of care. She provides a thorough review of how patient engagement can be approached using a scientific platform and presents case examples in diabetes, oncology and ADHD. She also provides tools and techniques for developing evidence-based strategies.
