A powerful component of a health plan’s disease management toolkit is the Health Risk Assessment (HRA), which evaluates the population’s health status and targets actionable programs to address identified risks. Implementing effective HRAs and mining the resulting data is a strategic means of harnessing healthcare costs and promoting consumer awareness.
Patients' health behaviors often contribute to the onset of their
diseases, and their continued behavior can either help or hinder their
progress. Healthcare providers need motivational strategies that respect
the individual's state of mind but result in behavior changes that improve
the patient's outcomes.
In this special report, "Motivating Resistant Patients:
Influencing Behaviors to
Improve Outcomes," HIN's panel of experts described how their organizations meet the challenges of motivating
patients who are resistant to change.
You'll hear from Rick Botelho, MD, professor of family medicine at the University of
Rochester Family Medicine Center, Richard Citrin, PhD, vice president of EAP solutions at UPMC Health Plan and former vice president of Integrated Care Management,
Corphealth Inc. and Barbara Rutkowski, EdD, medical manager, St. Mary’s Managed Care
Services on the strategies that their organizations have developed to meet these challenges.
This 40-page report is based on the February 2, 2005 audio conference "Beyond Giving Information & Advice: Motivating Resistant Patients" during which Botelho, Citrin and Rutkowski described their organizations' initiatives and program results.
You'll get details on:
- A stepped approach to behavior change;
- Strategies that get through to resistant patients;
- Sustaining participation;
- Tips for engaging patients; and
- Involving patients in change.

One of the greatest
roadblocks to effective disease management is getting patients to comply
with doctors' orders. By using a combination of technology and
psychology, healthcare providers, health plan administrators and
employers can work to modify patients' behaviors to optimize disease
management outcomes.
But to be successful, these programs require active patient
engagement that emphasizes self-care, self-monitoring, and self-education.
In short, programs that empower and motivate members to
participate in their own healthcare. But how do you get patients to invest
in themselves?
In this special report, "Modifying Patients' Behaviors to Optimize Disease Management Outcomes," based on two recent audio
conferences, expert speakers
described
results-oriented strategies that healthcare organizations can use to bring
about the appropriate attitude and behavior adjustment in patients.
You'll hear from Richard Citrin, former vice president of health and productivity at
Corphealth Inc., Gregg Lehman, former president and CEO, Gordian Health Solutions, Michael Montijo, MD, MPH, FACP,
senior vice president, government relations at American Healthways, Fred Navarro, president and founder, PATH
Institute, Scott Smith, MD, vice president and chief medical officer, First Health and Sean Sullivan, president
and CEO, Institute for Health and
Productivity Management on theories, application and results of behavior modification and patient engagement strategies.
This 60-page report is based on the July 28, 2004 audio conference "The Role of Behavior Modification in Disease Management: How
You Can Maximize your Program's Effectiveness" and the November 3, 2004 audio conference "Patient Engagement Strategies in
Disease Management" during which Citrin, Lehman, Montijo, Navarro, Smith and Sullivan described which strategies healthcare
organizations are using to modify behaviors to increase the effectiveness of disease management programs and
strategies that are most successful at engaging members in disease management programs.
You'll get details on:
- Effective tools for behavior modification;
- Using technology to impact behaviors;
- Getting physicians on board with disease management programs to help effectiveness of programs;
- Recruiting patients into disease management programs;
- Patient profiles that indicate a willingness to change; and
- The real story on incentives.
